Summary

Episode 106 of Trade and Tariffs with Fexingo dives into how currency wars are becoming the hidden front of today's trade conflicts. Lucas and Luna examine Japan's recent yen intervention, China's quiet yuan devaluation, and what the weakening dollar means for exporters and importers alike. With the trade-weighted U.S. dollar index slipping to 120.7 and the yen touching 161 per dollar before snapping back, the hosts explain why central banks are increasingly using exchange rates as tariff substitutes. They also discuss how emerging markets like Brazil and India are caught in the crossfire. A must-listen for anyone trying to understand the real economy beneath the headlines about tariffs and supply chains. #CurrencyWars #TradeWars #YenIntervention #YuanDevaluation #DollarWeakness #CentralBanks #Japan #China #EmergingMarkets #Exports #Imports #TradeBalance #Economics #GlobalTrade #ForeignExchange #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeAndTariffs Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
