The recent weakening of the U.S. dollar has made American exports more affordable internationally, benefiting sectors like dairy and grains. Conversely, ingredient importers face higher costs, especially for products like cocoa and coffee priced in foreign currencies. Businesses are adapting quickly to these currency-driven market shifts.

BTG Takeaway

Closely monitor currency markets. Exporters should lock in favorable exchange rates now, while importers should consider hedging strategies to manage increasing costs and volatility.
