High inflation in the United States would most likely have a negative impact on

A) the U. S. dollar exchange rate

B) a positive impact on the U. S. dollar exchange rate

C) a negative impact on the Gross National Product

D) a positive impact on the Gross National Product

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

High inflation will cause an adverse effect on the exchange rate. However, the low inflation rate does not have a positive effect on the value of currency and exchange.

Inflation rate affects the rate of interest which has an effect on the exchange rate. The relationship between the interest rate and inflation is complex and difficult to manage.

Lower interest rates are likely to lower the cost of borrowing. As a result, there is an increase in investment and production. This increases aggregate demand and thus price level.

But lower interest discourages foreign investment, the demand for domestic currency falls. This shift the currency demand curve to left decreasing the interest rate.
