Dollar Slide Sparks Inflation Fear and Auto Slump
The dollar fell against major currencies as oil prices rose and carmakers saw December sales boost by year-end demand fade early this month. Analysts warn a weak dollar could shrink the trade gap but risk reigniting inflation or triggering a recession, with U S automakers reporting sharply lower January sales compared with 1986 while oil futures climbed to new highs and gasoline prices likely rise. The Commerce Department noted December retail sales gained on car sales and last minute shopping, yet full-year 1986 retail activity cooled to a 5.2 percent rise, the smallest since 1982.

Farmers Home Administration in Kansas states that emergency loans for 1987 crop losses require participating in federally subsidized multiple-peril crop insurance if available. State Director Larry E. Davis notes the 1985 farm bill prohibits loans for losses that insurance could cover, with April 15 insurance sales closing for spring crops in most areas.
