How the Dollar Dip Is Reshaping Cross-Border M&A

As the trade-weighted dollar index edges down from its highs, cross-border mergers and acquisitions are seeing a revival. Lucas and Luna examine how the weaker greenback is making US assets cheaper for foreign buyers, with a focus on European and Japanese companies eyeing American targets. They discuss the $190 billion current account deficit, the yen hovering near 160 per dollar, and what a softer dollar means for deal flow in 2026. Specific examples include a look at how Japanese acquirers are using their stronger currency to snap up US tech and industrial firms, and why European private equity is circling undervalued American mid-caps. The hosts also touch on the broader implications for global capital flows and the shifting balance of corporate control. #DollarDip #CrossBorderM&A #CurrencyWars #CorporateFinance #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GlobalTrade #MergersAndAcquisitions #WeakerDollar #USAssets #JapaneseAcquirers #EuropeanPE #CurrentAccountDeficit #YenStrength #CapitalFlows #DealFlow2026 #MidCapM&A Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
