Risking too much of a good thing

Article Abstract:

The US economy is expected to experience a gradual decline in the second and third quarter of 1995. The federal reserve will wait for the economy to turn around before changing its monetary policy, while exports are expected to increase. In related news, the steep drop in the US dollar rate was caused by investors releasing their supplies of American dollars in favor of Deutsche Marks and Japanese Yens. The resulting oversupply lowered the currency rate.
