Explain how an increase in the American demand for German goods leads to a change in the German Mark relative to the U.S. dollar


Americans who wish to buy more German goods will need more German Marks. This increase in demand for Marks increases the price of Marks (relative to the dollar) on the foreign exchange market. The Mark has, therefore, appreciated relative to the dollar, and the dollar has depreciated relative to the Mark. A Mark will buy more dollars than before, and a dollar will buy fewer Marks..
