Yes, that is one of the ramifications that can occur when the interest rates go down in a country. The US has so many cross currents to the currency that fundamentals can be spun every which way. One can argue that foreign buying of US equities will occur and hence you get US dollar demand and inflows. and obviously the dynamics of the other economies impacts their currency as well as ours. A weaker dollar can make imports more and hence it can reduce the demand for foreign products, unless US makers take the opportunity to raise their margins (Prices). The purchasing Parity argument can also be made for currency relations.... let me see if I can get into that this weekend. I'm going to the Shell Houston Open Later today, and on the weekend ... so I'll be busy :-)
