How the Strong Dollar Reshapes Global Supply Chains

In this episode of International Business with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine how the persistent strength of the US dollar—currently at 119 on the trade-weighted index—is forcing multinational corporations to rethink their supply chain strategies. We drill into a concrete case: how a mid-sized German automotive parts supplier, Schaeffler, is shifting production from China to Mexico to reduce dollar-cost exposure and maintain margins. We also look at why emerging market ETFs like EEM are up nearly 2% over five days despite a stronger dollar, and what that tells us about capital flows. Lucas and Luna discuss the mechanics of dollar-denominated procurement, the impact on trade finance, and whether the dollar's dominance is creating a new era of regionalization. This is episode 30 of International Business with Fexingo—global trade, cross-border deals, and multinational operations. #StrongDollar #SupplyChains #InternationalBusiness #GlobalTrade #USCurrency #EmergingMarkets #EEM #Schaeffler #MexicoManufacturing #ChinaTrade #DollarDominance #TradeFinance #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GlobalEconomy #CurrencyRisk Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
