signals that china and the u.s. may back off from last week's protectionist posturing most recently leading u.s. trade groups have urged president trump to stop plans to slap tariffs on chinese products forty five associations representing sectors from high tech to agriculture said in the letter that sweeping tariffs would trigger a chain reaction of negative consequences for the u.s. economy now alongside the looming threat of a trade war the air at the g twenty finance ministers meeting is thick with the fear of a currency dispute and more than a year after donald trump came to power the u.s. dollar has shed about fifteen percent of its value the weak dollar makes u.s. products cheaper and therefore more competitive on international markets now experts say the weak dollar is the key reason behind the strengthening of the euro the common european currency is currently worth around a dollar twenty four the most it's been for about three years and that's bad for

european companies who want to export making their goods more expensive for more on this subject let's bring in creg erling he's a senior market analyst at a lot of currency traders welcome to the program greg that lower dollar that we're seeing here is that official part of u.s. trade policy or is it just an accident. i don't think it's an official part of u.s. trade policy i think the race gains to be had from having we could see which we've seen a number of different countries adopt the past few years in particular it boosts exports which is a key fact they have especially when you're looking at a country like the u.s. where their exports of money five to products isn't exactly the strongest part of their economy but it is a place that donald trump did play towards during the election campaign so you can see understand why people think a week a dollar would benefit donald trump and helping follow through on his promises

bolton atlee overall with the u.s. economy really a stronger dollar is generally the preferred option and we have the secretary of fine and steve newton actually talking down the dollar at the world economic forum in davos of course now a weaker dollar would make exports cheaper but what could be at stake for that. will be offset of that is that it makes it more expensive for the spend less money on the make keeps inflation low home as well so the broader sense is that while it might not be good for domestic industry the overall consumer across the board is better off not talking about consumer concerns we're also looking at potential terrorists being slapped on products by the u.s. administration how likely is it that we'll be seeing a currency war on top of this trade dispute.
12:22 pm
i don't think we'll see an actual currency war break oh i think the trade dispute is going to be damaging enough without a currency war on top of that and as long as central banks remain in control of monetary policy i think the chance of a currency war on top quite unlikely i think the trade disputes is going to be much bigger fuck that because ultimately down the line this doesn't just leads protectionist measures it doesn't just make goods more expensive for domestic consume is it then in itself generates inflation which means the central banks have to raise interest rates in order to offset inflation which again makes consumers worse off so noble wins in these trade walls and hopefully we can start to find a way to solve it before it gets too serious craig senior market analyst ed wand a currency traders thank you for your insight. and for more information on that you'll find an exclusive on our website where we've taken an in-depth look at what's motivating being donald trump strategy and the slide towards
