The effect of currencies on income statements
September 12, 2022 Leave a comment
And the corporate effect of what todays earlier currencies post translates to…..
Aussie companies selling products into Europe, the UK and Japan have been seeing weaker receipts, while those selling to U.S. customers or in USD denominated products (commodities) are booking handsome profits on favourable currency differentiation.
Japanese and European assets are considered cheap for holders of Australian Dollars while Americans (and their corporations) may see Australian assets as being ‘on sale.
Expect those respective benefits to wane while these ‘extreme’ currency movements correct and consolidate.
On a side note, the almighty strength of the U.S. Dollar seems to be a surprise……
2 years ago, I wrote this note when I remember reports of the pending death of the U.S. Dollar to be palpable.
Today, there doesn’t seem to be an opposite case against the bullish prospects of the U.S. Dollar.
