The USD has been performing dismally lately. This comes at a time when I have just decided to start shipping in cars for resale locally. I notice however, that the current rate has significantly reduced profits and I am wondering whether car prices are likely to shoot up in the coming month or whether market forces will keep car prices the same, resulting in reduced profits for car sellers.
For purposes of demonstration, A probox going for $4,000 should earn me about 48k profit when bought at a rate of 110.75 (banks have to eat too). The same Probox at the same price, would earn me 71k when bought at a rate of 105 to the USD, all other factors remaining constant.
So, are car sellers likely to transfer the increased cost of the dollar to buyers ama soko imaheribika sasa?
