Could you please explain what exactly is meant by the term 'market exchange rate'? I'm interested in understanding how it differs from other types of exchange rates and what factors contribute to its fluctuation. Additionally, how does it impact individuals and businesses who are engaged in cross-border transactions? I'd appreciate it if you could provide a concise yet comprehensive explanation of this concept.

A floating exchange rate is a type of monetary system where the value of one currency against another is determined solely by the market forces of supply and demand.
