Caution Advised The department cautioned against reading too much into the $11 billion swing in the second quarter official settlements balance, which measures the change in dollar holdings of foreign central banks. Much of the improvement occurred because of the move from fixed to floating exchange rates. Western European governments were no longer buying the dollar in large quantities to keep its value up, as they were during the exchange rate crises earlier this year. Furthermore the department said, Japan made substantial sales of dollars to prevent the yen from appreciating too much in terms of the dollar, which would make Japanese exports to the U.S. even more expensive than they already are as a result of the two devaluations of the dollar.
