Strong Currency
currency when it is worth more relative to other currencies. Because most currencies are floating, their values vary according to market trends. When one unit of a currency trades for more units of another currency, it is known as a strong currency. When a currency is strong, travelers are able to go abroad while spending less of their money, but it makes exports more expensive in other countries. A strong currency can be disinflationary for currencies pegged to it. See also: Weak currencyExchange rate.


Strong Currency
currency whose value compared to other currencies is improving, as indicated by a decrease in the direct exchange rates for the currency.

Hard currency (also known as a safe-haven currency or strong currency), in economics, refers to a globally traded currency that can serve as a reliable and stable store of value. Factors contributing to a currency's hard status can include political stability, low inflation, consistent monetary and fiscal policies, backing by reserves of precious metals, and long-term stable or upward-trending valuation against other currencies on a trade-weighted basis.
Conversely, a soft currency indicates a currency which is expected to depreciate against other currencies. Such softness is typically the result of expectations from previous depreciations or devaluations, or of higher relative prices often caused by inflation.

Examples of hard currencies

Precious metals have been the most resilient currencies, with gold historically outlasting all forms of paper fiat money. The paper currencies of some developed countries have earned recognition as hard currencies at various times, including the United States dollarEuroSwiss franc, British pound sterlingCanadian dollar,Japanese yen, and Australian dollar. The Deutsche Mark was once a hard currency; it is no longer in circulation, having been replaced by the Euro.
Varying theories of monetary policy preclude any claim of a currency's hardness from being called definitive. The strong downward trend of the US dollar index (USDX) since its November 2006 peak has weakened that currency's position as a hard currency. Quantitative easing by central banks during the financial crisis of 2007–2010 has generally eroded the security of most fiat money.
