The Euro has now fallen below the Dollar…

  1. (again)… worth bearing in mind this happened a few weeks ago as well, while it’s psychologically quite a big thing, unless it *keeps* going down it’s been flirting with this level for months so it’s unlikely to have a material impact.

  2. …you’re kinda late to the party.

    Anyways, as far as I know, this is because the fed in the US have made the interest rates higher, meanwhile here in europe the CEB could not because if they did, countries like italy would not be able to pay back the interests so we would die.

    It can be good for exports since now the US can buy more stuff from us and has to spend…well, much less than before (if they wanted to buy 100€ worth of cheese they had to pay 130$ a couple of years back, now they pay 100$ for 100€ worth of cheese, for example)

    But I dont know about other concequences other than the moral one of having a stronger currency than the dollar

  3. What up!? American here that’s been lurking! USA #1, baby! Cheap beer, NASCAR, and barely functioning democracy! Hell yeah! Best country in the world!
