Abstract: In this study, we investigate how the volatility index (VIX) and oil price influence the foreign exchange rate based on a conditional autoregressive value at risk model. We find that the oil price affects the value at risk (VaR) of exchange rates of oil-importing and oil-exporting countries differently. Further, the VIX as a volatility measure can only influence the tail risk of these currencies when the US financial market fluctuates significantly. In addition, we find that there is a significant increase in the volatility of the VaR of these currencies after the financial crisis. Our empirical results would provide useful information for investors.
