И есче о влиянии падения доллара на УС економику:
Weaker dollar no guarantee of narrower US trade gap
"This whole idea of a weakening of the dollar to narrow the deficit just isn't working," said Tim Mazanec, senior currency strategist at Investors Bank & Trust in Boston.
Ronald Simpson, managing director of foreign exchange strategy at Action Economics in New York, agrees. "A dollar decline is not a panacea for solving the trade deficit," he said.
Since January 2002, the dollar index , an index of the dollar's movement against major currencies weighted by trade flows, has fallen by a third to a nine-year low.
Yet in that time, America's deficit in goods and services trade with the rest of the world is approaching 6 percent of GDP. Analysts expect the trade deficit to reach almost $600 billion this year, compared with $496 billion last year, $422 billion in 2002, and $363 billion in 2001.
The "J curve effect," which sees the trade balance of a country experiencing hefty currency depreciation slowly start to improve after a period of several months, clearly hasn't impacted the U.S. yet
