The Euro: a seafarer on tides of 'stateless' money?

Article Abstract:

The introduction of the euro has helped to reduce problems linked to the 11 member states having different inflation rates and it should increase the number of cross-border acquisitions and mergers. It was hoped the euro would become stronger than the US dollar. Yet the introduction of the euro has increased the length of currency swings. Money moves between the markets in Japan, Europe and the US. Investors therefore have a major influence on currency swings which are the basis of economic policy. Countries considered as unfavourable can be badly affected when investment money is withdrawn.

Link your company's hedging to raising your stock price

Article Abstract:

Hedging can be used as part of the value creation process for shareholders rather than purely as a defensive measure. Senior managers may use hedging to protect company losses due to commodity price changes or the devaluation of currency. A computer model has been devised to continually monitor the value of hedges to shareholders. Each hedge is evaluated and compared to other hedges to ensure they are creating value. The model to manage a company's hedging can be run on Microsoft Excel software.
