Analysts watch the gap between bank rates and bureau rates as a gauge of how plentiful foreign currency is. A widening gap usually signals pressure on supply; a narrow one suggests relative calm. Importers and business owners watch the dollar closely because it feeds directly into the cost of goods and raw materials, and from there into what the shopper pays. Global interest rates, and Federal Reserve decisions in particular, shape the dollar's strength against most currencies. Raising rates draws capital toward the dollar and lifts it; cutting them usually does the reverse.
