This paper examines the relations between fluctuations in real exchange rates among the major currencies and fluctuations in real commodity prices. Increased exchange rate volatility calls for a better understanding of these relations. To the best of our knowledge, no systematic study of those effects has been performed on a wide range of commodities, although Sjaastad and Scacciavillani (1993

Estimates of this elasticity range from about 0.162 (for Iceland) to 2.03 (for Ecuador). Across all commodity currencies, the median value of the elasticity is 0.42, indicating that a 10% rise in real commodity prices is typically associated with a 4.2% appreciation of the real exchange rate. market-based ⁄oating exchange rates, and explores the dynamic relationship between exchange rates and world commodity prices.
