Examine any foreign currency of your choice (preferably
China), and provide an analysis of that currency against the U.S. dollar over
the 5-year period ending with 2010. To complete this assignment, examine an
exchange-traded fund (ETF) for that currency, perform any additional research
you need to do in order to understand the topic, and then write a 750-word
paper that summarizes the results of your macroeconomic
analysis.
To find an ETF fund for a country that you’re interested in, go to an Internet
search engine such as Google, and enter the keywords “exchange-traded fund for
X,” and replace the “X” with the name of the country of your choice. You can
see the history of your chosen ETF, in terms of U.S. dollars, by checking or
entering the ETF call letters or ticker symbol in a financial search engine
such as Yahoo! Finance (the web
address for this site ishttp://finance.yahoo.com/).
