How Exchange Rates Influence Your BusinessThe fluctuation of the exchange rate will directly influence the costs of your business. If the exchange rate increases, it means your currency to another currency appreciates, and the prices of imported goods and services decrease. In this case, you might have an increase in demand, whereas successful import companies should see increased profits, and export companies will then have the opposite effect.
If the exchange rate decreases, on the opposite, it means your own currency to another currency depreciates, and the prices of imported goods and services rise for your business, leading to less demand. However, if your company deals with exports, this is good news for you.

1. Diversify your business globally
It could make sense to diversify your business in countries or regions that have concentrated exposure to big currencies, such as the U.S., the Euro area, and Asia-Pacific. When the dollar goes strong, the non-dollar investments will have a tailwind. On the contrary, when non-dollar assets go weak, dollar-based investments will have that tailwind.

2. Invest in currency-hedged funds
Investment in another specific country or region’s stocks could be an easy way to neutralize the currency risk. For example, you can buy a fund that invests almost exclusively in the stocks of Japan or the Euro area to hedge out the risks.

3. Invest in countries with strong currencies
If you’re looking to invest at a country level, you can look for countries that have strong, rising currencies relative to your own domestic currency.
