10、SHEET 2.1 【正确答案】 国际投资者们似乎无法舍弃他们对美元的偏爱。本年度，美国的经济已急剧下滑，然而，在按贸易额加权的情况下，美元却增长到了 15 年来的高点。美元兑换欧元的比率达到 0.88 美元兑换 1 欧元，比一月初高出 8%，接近去年九月欧洲中央银行和美联储联合干预以支持欧元时的水平。为什么欧元显得如此疲软呢?对此有许多说法。其中之一是市场不相信欧洲中央银行：欧元区经济并非不受美国经济衰退的影响，但是中央银行更关注的似乎仍然是克服通货膨胀，而不是支持经济增长；另一个似乎更合理的解释是，在全球经济不稳定的情况下，美元重新获得了安全货币的传统角色。大多数经济学家认为，欧元的价值被
