Weakening dollar increases import costs for consumers (higher prices on foreign goods), while making US exports cheaper abroad. Uncertainty about Fed policy and potential recession signals may dampen consumer confidence and spending.
Fed likely to maintain accommodative stance through mid-year pending clarity on inflation and tariff impacts. Policymakers monitoring labor market stabilization and retail weakness as recession indicators. Potential for coordinated international monetary policy responses if currency volatility persists.
