How do currency fluctuations affect ordinary people's savings?

Currency fluctuations directly affect purchasing power, especially in countries that depend on imports. When the local currency weakens against the dollar, goods become more expensive. To better understand these processes, it is helpful to understand the factors that influence the currency market.
