Why the Strong Dollar Isnt Making Exports Cheaper

from The Trade Deficit Podcast with Fexingo: Imports, Exports, and Balance of Payments · host Fexingo

Episode 7 of The Trade Deficit Podcast digs into a counterintuitive puzzle: the US dollar has been strong for years, yet exports keep rising. Lucas and Luna explore why traditional trade models are breaking down in 2026 — looking at the rise of services exports, the growing role of intellectual property, and how US companies are pricing for sticky demand rather than currency fluctuations. They examine fresh data on services exports hitting $1 trillion, the impact of AI licensing abroad, and what this means for the trade deficit. A number-driven conversation that challenges the textbooks. #TradeDeficit #StrongDollar #USExports #ServicesTrade #IntellectualProperty #AIExports #DollarIndex #TradeBalance #Economics #CurrentAccount #GlobalTrade #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #ExportGrowth #CurrencyImpact #TradeTheory #May2026 Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
