What are the economic effects of an appreciation of the dollar relative to foreign currencies?

On May 11, 2024


Appreciation of the dollar means that it takes fewer dollars to obtain foreign currencies. This means that foreign goods become less expensive to Americans and import spending should rise as Americans shift from buying U.S. products to buying the now cheaper, foreign products. It also means that it takes more foreign currency to obtain U.S. dollars, and therefore, U.S. exports abroad should fall.
