A deficit in current account indicates that the nation is spending more on the foreign trade than it is earning.

A country's economic, social and political conditions also affect the currency conversion rates. If all the conditions mentioned above are right, then the value of the currency rises as there is confidence among the foreign investors to invest in the country, even the export and import of goods and services will show favorable trade balances.
