Purchasing Power Parity
When the currency rates are set by the International markets changes will be based on the actual purchasing power of the currency.
For example if the US dollar to the European Euro is a $1.5 to one than each one dollar and fifty cents will buy one euro.
However if an item in the US costs a dollar fifty then cost more or less than one euro the parody is lost. Markets will adjust quickly inflating rates or pressure fix rates.
