Analysts' comments
May 9, 15:00 GMTPeter Morici, business professor at the University of Maryland:
"The weaker dollar against the euro, pound and Canadian dollar is boosting exports. However, the trade deficit remains stubbornly large, because imports of petroleum and from much of Asia are not much affected by those exchange rate movements." − Thomson Financial News
Ashraf Laidi, chief currency analyst at CMC Markets:
"While much ink had been spilled over the benefits of a weak dollar on international trade, there was no relief on overall exports. In fact, as long as a falling dollar is accompanied by surging oil, the net effect is negative via rising oil imports." − Thomson Financial News
