Hey there,
Whilst I understand that changing the interest rate in a country would make that place less attractive to investment of cash etc (i.e. less interest on savings in the most basic look at it).
What I dont get is why the dollar itself loses value.
Can you not buy dollars and put them in ECB or elsewhere covered accounts?
Is it because it shows less confidence in the US economy and therefore this is reflected in the currency?
I would really appreciate someone explaining this to me!
Thanks
