concha Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Here's the dollar compared to the currencies of our largest trading partners over the last few years. Why would Trump even mention it, right? Canadian Dollar: Chinese Yuan: Mexican Peso: Japanese Yen: Euro: British Pound: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the context of the USD-Euro FX rates of the past days, weeks and months, the rate hardly fell to unusual levels or moved enough to being anything truly meaningful. Trump has spoken of getting US manufacturing and exports back on their feet. That is not helped when the USD is at or near multi-year highs versus the currencies of our largest trading partners.

World Citizen Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 10 hours ago, CCBlackhatter said: Had Trump stated that the American dollar was too strong, he would be a liar and ridiculed. Had Trump not mentioned the strength of the dollar, the left would say he doesn't care about the economy, and allowed the strong dollar to destroy businesses and the economy. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Every last person on the left is exactly what they bitched about in regards to conservatives during Obama's presidency. Probably a lot of truth to that but the difference, for me at least, is conservatives botched before he said or did anything. Right from the start they went after him. Trump on the other hand has said and did things before entering office and since entering office that offended many people. And the thing is, he did it to himself. All unforced errors. Big difference imo. But I take your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDrop Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 This is a twenty year study of the relationship of the Euro to the USD. The release rate in 1998 or 99 was 1.16 US to buy 1 Euro. Soon after release the Euro weakened dropping to as low as .85 for a period around the year 2000 or so. In 2007 or 2008 the Euro completely reversed itself and gradually built to almost 1.60 to the US Dollar. That is literally close to double. Today over the past eight or nine years it has tapered down to a current 1.06 which is a historically strong dollar. This all means that this is a very good time to go to Europe. The dollar is strong and American tourism is not expected to be strong as European tourism is not expected to be strong here (fear of border issues and politics-real reasons). The Canadian dollar is also weak, around $1.34 or 1.35 for that which should essentially be on or close to par. The pound in the UK is about 1.25 which is one of the strongest rates in the last 50 years. Only the 1.03 in 1985 tops it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it became a strategy after his election. I have read next to nothing about the china meetings.... this may be a good thing. I suspect he had some success. Not sure why but buried in the middle of the news last night (this is an important development) was a story about China refusing to allow a North Korean coal transport ship to dock. Sent it home.

I know, what was the point in reference to the latest posts? You don't think it's a very undervalued story in the media??????? My point stands, more ink/film is given to where people pee than a very important manifestation of Chinese cooperation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
