Explanation:

Exchange rate is defined as the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another. This is an important consideration in international trade. For example a good worth $100 may be equivalent of £150. If exchange rate is not considered it will lead to an imbalance of profit and loss between parties involved.

The currency of the UK will weaken against that of the USA if fear of terrorism reduces US tourism to the UK, rate of productivity declines, and when UK consumers purchase more of USA automobiles.

Basically when there is less demand for a countrie's currency it weakens against others and exchange rate falls.

The British government invites U.S. firms to invest in British oil fields. THIS WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF BRITISH POUNDS DEMANDED BY AMERICAN OIL FIRMS WHICH WILL APPRECIATE THE PRICE OF THE BRITISH POUND AGAINST THE US DOLLAR.
