International trade currencies:
These currencies are heavily influenced by changes in global demand for
raw materials (commodities) and finished goods. A few of them (CAD,
AUD, NZD) are often referred to as the “commodity currencies.” Currently

economies and are therefore also very sensitive to changes in the
forces behind capital flows such as interest rates, the credit market
and yields.
