Major US stakeholders historically loved a strong dollar. This is changing as the high dollar is forcing foreign governments to sell bonds, increasing rates the US pays.

The article by Mark LeDain for Forbes, published on December 26, 2024, discusses the potential impacts of a persistently high U.S. dollar on the American energy sector and government finances. It explores how a strong dollar affects energy exports, making them less competitive globally, which could lead to reduced revenues for energy companies. This scenario might force these companies to cut back on investments or seek cost reductions. Additionally, the article examines the implications for the U.S. government, noting that a high dollar could decrease the cost of imported goods, potentially lowering inflation but also reducing the competitiveness of U.S. exports. This could lead to a decrease in tax revenues from exports, impacting government budgets. The piece also touches on the broader economic effects, including potential job losses in the energy sector and the government's fiscal strategies to manage these challenges, such as adjusting monetary policies or seeking alternative revenue sources.
