Euro neurosis: here are three reasons for Americans to fear the arrival of a united European currency
Article Abstract:
The development of the Euro currency represents a threat to the economic power and influence of the US Dollar. If the US and Europe were to have trade conflicts, the European Central Bank could weaken the Euro by lowering interest rates. This would make European products less expensive, leading to increased imports by the US. If China were offended by a US-Japan military alliance in support of South Korea, China could retaliate by exchanging Treasury bonds for Euro securities, resulting in the greenback's decreased value. The collective financial clout of the European federation could impact IMF decisions unfavorable to the US, thus the Euro would be able to compete equally with the dollar.
