Interest rate is the market rate at which the buyer (or borrower) has to pay the seller (or loaner) for continuing to hold the currency. Interest rates impact the performance of all currencies in the Forex market. Rising interest rates cause currencies to strengthen, falling interest rates cause currencies to weaken.
