Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the U.S. price level rises relative to the Swiss price level, U.S. goods become more expensive compared to Swiss goods. This would lead to an increase in the demand for francs (to buy Swiss goods) and a decrease in the supply of francs (as fewer Swiss would buy U.S. goods), resulting in the depreciation of the dollar.
