CURSOS ON-LINE - INGLS BNDES 2011 PROFESSOR CARLOS AUGUSTO AULA 4 Text 1: A Faded Green Shades of peach adorn

Americas recently redesigned $20 note, but currency traders care little for pretty colours. The dollar has steadily been losing value in the foreign-exchange markets. This week it reached its low against the euro since the single European currency was launched in 1999, breaking through $1.20. The dollar has fallen by 31% against the euro from its peak in July 2001. Recently it has also hit a three-year low against the yen and a five-year low against sterling. It may seem curious that the dollar is falling when America is enjoying a remarkable burst of growth and Europe looks far less lively. Americas GDP grew at an annual rate of 8.2% in the third quarter. The Institute of Supply Managements widely watched index of manufacturing activity hit a 20-year high in November. Meanwhile, the euro area economies are on the mend, but are expected to grow by only 0.5% this year and 1.8% next, according to The Economists monthly poll of economic forecasters. However, currencies are not economic virility symbols, but assets on which investors expect a return. The dollar used to be buoyant because investors expected to make more from dollar assets than from those denominated in other currencies. Now they are not so sure. Their worries over Americas twin deficits, on the current-account and the federal budget, loom large. With a current account deficit of 6% of GDP, America must borrow $2 billion each business day. Tax cuts, spending on the war in Iraq and a new scheme to provide prescription drugs to the old are dragging the governments books into disarray. How much further might the dollar fall? Predicting the future price of a currency is useless. But there are good reasons to believe that over the medium term the dollar could drop a lot lower, especially against the euro. Whether that will have the desired effects, in reducing America's imbalances, or in causing the expected chaos in Europe's economies, is a different question. A stronger euro should be bad news for European firms, even if it means cheaper Florida holidays for their employees. A rise in the euro against the dollar causes exports from European firms to become more expensive relative to American ones, cutting into Europes sales. Similarly, American firms products become relatively cheaper, both for Americans and for foreign buyers. By creating more exports and curbing imports, a weaker dollar should thus help to cut Americas huge current-account deficit.

CURSOS ON-LINE - INGLS BNDES 2011 PROFESSOR CARLOS AUGUSTO Or so the textbooks have it. In the past, a falling dollar has indeed reduced Americas imports. In the1980s, the last time America had such a large current-account deficit relative to GDP, an agreement to let the dollar 40 depreciate helped to reduce Americas consumption of Japanese cars and Swiss watches. But there is reason to think that these days currency movements are not as effective as they once were in bringing economies into balance. A recent report of an investment bank doubts that a sliding dollar will do much to eliminate 45 Americas trade and current-account imbalances. In an increasingly integrated global economy, companies pricing power has been eroded around the world. In addition low inflation has made price increases more obvious. So it is more difficult for a European car company, say, to raise its prices in America in response to a stronger euro. According to 50 a study cited in the report, the ability to pass on the effects of a stronger currency has been waning in recent years. (The Economist, Dec 6, 2003)

Na (a), tem-se a forma comparativa less lively: Pode parecer curioso que o dlar esteja caindo quando os EUA esto usufruindo de um notvel perodo de crescimento e a Europa parece to menos efervescente; na (c), tem-se a forma comparativa more expensive: um aumento do euro em relaao ao dlar faz com que as exportaes das firmas europias fiquem mais caras em comparao com as dos EUA; na (d), tem-se a forma comparativa cheaper: De igual modo, os produtos das empresas americanas tornam-se relativamente mais baratos tanto para os americanos quanto para compradores estrangeiros; e, na (e), tem-se a forma comparativa as effective as: Porm h uma razo para pensar que as oscilaes monetrias de hoje no sejam to efetivas quanto um dia foram para trazer as economias para um equilbrio. 33.
