Typically, the increase of interest rates will be the main reason for the appreciation of the currency because of the widening difference between domestic and foreign rates. Again, if interest rates fall, it will be the cause of currency depreciation due to the narrowing of interest rate spreads.
In addition, even if the benchmark interest rate remains unchanged, there are cases where, if it is seen to play a role in boosting the economy, the foreign exchange market price will rise but if market participants judge that the decision to hold interest rates is not appropriate, the forex market price will decline.
