Dollar Devaluation Signals Shifts in Global Trade
Washington reports the Group of Ten nations agrees to devalue the dollar, lifting gold to 38 dollars an ounce and boosting U.S. exports while raising import costs. Analysts expect 0.5 to 0.75 million U.S. jobs, with limited immediate impact on living costs for most Americans. The plan also lifts a 10 percent import surcharge, easing duties to pre-August levels, while congressional approval for the official gold price awaits next month.
