- On the face of it, dollar weakness after April 2 is strange for two reasons.
- We think the dollar weakness is much more likely to be a symptom of cross-border investor flows.
- The remarkable decline in the dollar since the start of this year is an important part of the debate about diminished American exceptionalism.
