The problem with modifying supply based on an exchange rate is:
Which exchange rate to use? For example, when Bitcoin was created, there were no exchanges around.
It would introduce a lot of uncertainty in the design.

Unfortunately you are in no position to control a peg. I can guarantee that you either won't sell anything or make a heavy loss.
