The exchange is different from otherexchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange, in that it doesnot have a physical location or central exchange. The exchangeday begins in Sydney, then moves to Tokyo, on to London, andfinally ends in New York. Each country takes the responsibilityof regulating the exchange activities in their owncountry. So there is no overall regulatory agency. However, thisdoes not seem to be a problem and most countries do very well atoverseeing exchange activities.
There are a lot of things that influence the rate. Forinstance, economic things, like interest rates and inflation,and also political things, such as political unrest in othercountries and major changes in government cause up and downchanges in the rate. However, these things tend to beshort-term, and don't affect it for long.
