Rozakhunova / CORRELATION BETWEEN OIL PRICES AND CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES / СДУ хабаршысы - 20182415-8135https://repository.sdu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/655Abstract. In this article, we study how oil prices affect the USD vs. KZT exchange rates. Our methods base on elementary statistical data analysis. For this purpose, we collect Brent oil prices and US dollar exchange rates in Kazakh tenge for entire year of 2016, in a weekly basis. Our findings suggest that there is a strong correlation between two variables. Besides, we use simple linear regression analysis to provide a formula that predicts the USD rate given the oil price. To make the paper accessible to High school students, we keep most of the analysis as elementary as possible and self-contained.otherlinear regression, oil price, currency exchange, correlation.СДУ хабаршысы - 2018№1CORRELATION BETWEEN OIL PRICES AND CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES.Article
