- Whether or not one likes a strong U.S. dollar depends on their perspective. For those who are looking to travel abroad, a strong dollar means they can get more for their money. On the other hand, for those who are looking to export goods, a strong dollar can make their products more expensive for foreign buyers. A strong dollar can have a significant impact on U.S. firms. It can make their products more expensive for foreign buyers, which can lead to a decrease in demand and a decrease in profits. Additionally, a strong dollar can make it more difficult for U.S. firms to compete with foreign firms, as their products may be more expensive. Finally, a strong dollar can also make it more difficult for U.S. firms to borrow money from foreign lenders, as the cost of borrowing may be higher. reply to discussionarrow_forward"In an economy with a high dependency on imported oil, what is the likely macroeconomic impact of a sustained and significant increase in global oil prices? A) An immediate improvement in the trade balance due to Increased export revenues. B) A decrease in inflation as higher oil prices lead to reduced consumer spending. C) An increase in the general price level and potential deterioration of the trade balance. D) Stabilization of the currency value due to increased demand for domestic currency to purchase oil.arrow_forwardIn the foreign exchange market, the supply curve for the dollar is upward sloping. That is, when the exchange rate (foreign currency per dollar) increases, the quantity of dollars supplied increases. Assuming actors have not yet had time to change their expectations about the future exchange rate, when the exchange rate increases, why is the supply curve of dollars in the foreign exchange market upward sloping? Foreign goods and services are less expensive to import. U.S. firms profit more by selling their goods and services domestically rather than selling to foreigners. The expected profitability of purchasing a dollar today to sell in the future rises. U.S. goods are less expensive for foreigners to purchase.arrow_forward
