Because the world’s only currency for crude oil trading is the US dollar (oil prices have also risen), the rise and fall of the US dollar have an impact on the world economy.
When the U.S. dollar flows out too much and wants to return, interest rates are raised.
When the United States has too many domestic dollars and hopes to spread to the world, it cuts interest rates.
Through the Fed’s rate hike and rate cuts, the global economy also fluctuates.
