Quote from Daal: Most imports are priced in dollars so a weak dollar doesnt change anything, exporters to the US are worried about losing US market share if they raise prices so they frequently decide to drawdown their profit margins instead.
Explains the price differences you see e.g. in German cars between prices asked in Europe and prices asked in the US. You pay around 40-50% more for a BMW/Mercedes/Porsche etc. in Europe brandnew from the factory than in the US.
