Strong Dollar

The U.S. dollar when it is worth more relative to other currencies. Because the dollar is a floating currency, its value varies according to market trends. When one dollar trades for more units of one or more other currencies, it is known as a strong dollar. When the dollar is strong, American travelers are able to go abroad while spending less of their money, but it makes American exports more expensive in other countries. A strong dollar can be disinflationary for currencies pegged to the dollar. See also: Weak dollar, Exchange rate.
