Actually the dollar exchange rates would be more volatile against foreign currencies.

Explanation:

The reason or the relationship of these two effects is due to the higher fluctuation in the dollar interest frequency. Dollar price varies according to dollar interest rates, and the increase occurs directly proportional to the rise in the value of the interest rate and it also decreases in a directly proportional way.
