Retrieved economic literature partially notes negative correlations or contextual links between exchange rates and certain commodity prices, but does not fully establish a general causal mechanism across all commodities.
Australia is a major exporter of mining and agricultural commodities. These commodities are often invoiced in USD. The purpose of this study is to examine the strength of the relationship between the nominal Australian/United States exchange rate and indexed commodity prices using monthly data between 1986 and 2001. The next issue is whether or not these time series are cointegrated and whether or not uni-directional and/or two-way causality exists. An ordinary least squares regression model on unlagged data was expected to have low and spurious explanatory power, however this picture improves significantly when first difference data are used. It is found that cointegration does not exist in the level data set. However, it is found that the variables exhibit dual causality and negative correlation, with the significantly stronger causality running from commodity prices to AUD/USD exchange rate. This implies exogeneity in commodity prices. That knowledge should assist Australian commodity exporters in making firm-value decisions regarding the hedging of their foreign exchange and commodity price exposures. Because the level data do not exhibit cointegration, it cannot be concluded that long-term and systematic rational properties exist in the Australian exchange and commodity markets. However, when ordinary least squares regressions are applied to the first difference data, greater explanatory power of exchange rates and significant negative correlation is exhibited. Australian foreign exchange market-participants may use commodity price information to adjust their exchange rate expectations in the short-term in a sensible way.
In order to be the economic policies successful and stable, the finance laws are known as a crucial indicator of a stable economy. In addition, the concept of globalization closely affects the economic policy and financial crises. The aim of this thesis is to analyze how the 2008 global financial crisis affected the monetary policies being used and the external trade of Afganistan. The severity of the global crisis in the US began in the last quarter of 2008, particularly after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. At the beginning of the causes of the crisis was the mortgage of supreme loans which have not been paid, the unpaid debts caused the deflation which is originated from raising interest rates and finally by raising interest rates and deflation coming from behind has resulted in the bankruptcy of major investment banks and the companies.2008 growing influences of the global financial crisis being effective on the Afganistan's external trade as well as on the level of foreign investment has increased breaking of country's economy. The decline in commodity prices in the world after the crisis has led to a drop in oil prices as well. Even if positive results are observed on domestic investment of the Afghan economy because of the reduction in oil prices, due to the investment level being lower in the foreign (entire world), it has raised the external trade deficiency of the Afghan economy. Afghanistan's national currency Afghani, which depreciated against the dollar, with
