Devaluation is a deliberate downward adjustment of a currency's value relative to other currencies or commodities. It is typically used by countries to control the amount of money in circulation and the balance of payments deficits. It is also used to make it cheaper for domestic citizens to buy imported goods, thus increasing demand and stimulating the economy. When a currency is devalued, its value relative to other currencies decreases, meaning that the country's goods and services appear more attractive to foreign buyers. This can lead to an increase in exports, which can help to boost economic growth. On the other hand, devaluation also makes imported goods more expensive, which can lead to inflation and a decrease in purchasing power for domestic citizens.

WASHINGTON/CHICAGO (Reuters) -The U.S. Transportation Department (DOT) said on Thursday it is opening an inquiry into the four largest U.S. air carrier rewards and frequent flyer programs to ensure consumers do not face unfair, deceptive, or anticompetitive practices. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent letters to American, Delta, Southwest and United Airlines, ordering them to provide records and submit reports answering detailed questions on their rewards programs.
