Higher prices as floating yen reshapes US imports
A drifting yen raises costs for Japanese goods in the United States, potentially lifting prices on a range of products including cotton textiles not covered by the surcharge. With the yen no longer fixed at 360 per dollar, a weaker dollar could shrink yen earnings for Japanese producers, prompting price hikes and altering trade dynamics between the US and Japan. The shift is described by an American economist as a key element of Nixon's dollar defense strategy.
