“With commodities fromm oil to natural gas to grain to meat priced in dollars and becoming more expensive as the greenback falls, consumers have to take more out of their wallets to simply buy the same amount of goods.”
Why are these commodities becoming more expensive as the dollar falls if they are priced in dollars? (assuming their price stays constant). In other words - how does a falling dollar make them more expensive?
Am I interpreting that quote correctly? (The theme of the article is that a dollar slide leads to a rise in prices… from an import stantpoint, I agree. But the sentence above seems like he is getting at something slightly different).
Thanks!
