How a Weaker Dollar Is Reshaping Global Trade Flows

The US dollar index has slipped from 120 to 119.5 in early June 2026, a small move with big consequences for global trade. Lucas and Luna unpack how a weaker dollar is boosting emerging-market currencies, making US exports more competitive, and shifting the trade balance. They look at specific ETFs like EWY (South Korea) up 14.9% in five days, and EEM (emerging markets) showing strength. The episode also touches on the Bank of Japan's rate hike to 1% and what that means for the yen carry trade. They explore whether the dollar's decline is a short-term blip or the start of a longer trend.
