(Global Atlanta) When Monte Galbraith was providing input on the “new NAFTA,” he simply had one request from the federal government: Don’t disrupt supply chains that have just now settled from the shockwave sent by the initial trade agreement more than 20 years ago.
A stronger dollar means more expensive American products or services, said John Doyle, vice president for dealing and trading at TEMPUS. That should moderate this year as the Fed takes a more cautious approach in light of headwinds to global growth, said Mr. Doyle.
“The dollar will continue to be strong, but probably will get a little reprieve in 2019,” said Mr. Doyle, whose firm sponsored the event as it aims to deepen ties with businesses in Atlanta operating globally.
