Why the US Dollar Is Weakening Despite a Strong Economy in 2026

The US dollar has been sliding against major currencies even as GDP grows at 2.1 percent and unemployment holds at 4.3 percent. Lucas and Luna unpack the paradox: why a strong economy is actually hurting the greenback. They explain how the Federal Reserve's rate cuts, narrowing interest rate differentials with Europe and Japan, and a shift in global reserve preferences are driving the dollar lower. The episode centers on the dollar index falling from 106 to 99 over the past year, and what that means for import prices, corporate earnings, and inflation. They also discuss how a weaker dollar might boost exports but complicate the Fed's fight against sticky core PCE inflation at 3.4 percent. A must-listen for anyone tracking currency markets or macroeconomic trends. #USDollar #CurrencyMarkets #FederalReserve #InterestRates #Inflation #CorePCE #EconomicGrowth #GDP #Exports #Imports #DollarIndex #MonetaryPolicy #GlobalEconomy #CentralBanks #ForeignExchange #Macroeconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
