Why the Euro Is Making US Exports More Expensive
from The Trade Deficit Podcast with Fexingo: Imports, Exports, and Balance of Payments · host Fexingo
The US trade deficit narrowed to $55.9 billion in April 2026, but the strong dollar is still hurting exporters. Lucas and Luna drill into one overlooked mechanism: the euro's slide against the dollar. With EUR/USD at 1.14, European buyers face a 9% price hike on American goods compared to a year ago. They examine how this quietly shifts sourcing decisions — and why a $1.14 euro may be the new normal. Specific examples from machinery, aircraft, and pharmaceutical exports show the real-world impact on US factories and workers. #US #TradeDeficit #Euro #StrongDollar #EURUSD #Exports #Machinery #Aircraft #Pharmaceuticals #FederalReserve #EuropeanCentralBank #CurrentAccount #BalanceOfPayments #Imports #TradeBalance #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
