No matter when you check, the currency markets are constantly moving. Currency values are subject to drastic change seemingly at the drop of a hat.
Volatility in the financial markets isn’t random; changes in currency values are a direct result of real-world factors. Examples of the real-world events that can lead to increases and decreases in currency values include:
Natural disasters
Recessions
Inflation
Interest rates
Political happenings
It’s not uncommon for the markets to have slower periods of muted volatility, low interest rates, and steady returns in equity markets. But on the other hand, drastic changes can strike seemingly out of nowhere.
Volatility in the markets can have powerful, tangible impacts on businesses around the world. Corporate finance departments, treasury groups, CFOs, and business owners will be the ones left to face the consequences.
What could this mean for your business? Volatility in the markets can potentially:
Raise import costs
Reduce export sales margins
Make your product less competitive
Possibly disrupt your business plans for 2020 and beyond.
