Introduction
In today's international exchanges of goods and services are facilitated by the exchange of the currencies of the trading countries. Importers often must obtain the currency of the exporter’s country to purchase the goods to be imported. Even when they don’t need the actual currency, they must establish a relative value between currencies. Given the number of countries, currencies, and trading relationships in the world, this is a complicated process. International monetary markets serve as the mechanism to set the relative values of currencies. The actual price (or international value) of currencies is set through the interaction of supply and demand in these international currency markets. Just as in any market many factors can influence either the supply of, or the demand for, a given currency and this will affect the international exchange rate of the currency. In Jamaica today we rely heavily on foreign country for goods and services so therefore we need to know currency. Jamaican stock market is build on several different currency. The most popular one is US dollars which 1 us to 129 JM dollars
