The Federal Rserve has raised its benchmark lending rate by three percentage points so far this year. Higher interest rates lead to a stronger US dollar, which is likely to add to global economic pressure and weigh on corporate profits, economists at Charles Schwab report.
“An excessively strong dollar can cause an earnings recession – especially when the macroeconomic backdrop is overshadowed by the Fed's aggressive tightening policy, pessimism among consumers and businesses, and a significant slowdown in leading economic indicators.”
“The strong dollar will probably hit earnings eventually. Foreign exchange difficulties often take a while to fully translate into weaker profits. That means companies could be looking at a difficult start to next year.”
