Treasury and Fed could push interest rates up, which would increase demand for dollars, but would also make borrowing more expensive.
A cheap dollar has some benefit it makes foriegn purchases of American goods and services less expensive. This increases demand for our products. On the other hand, it makes foriegn doods and services mor expensive for Americans.
The value of the dollar against foriegn curencies is influenced by supply and demandced , aswell as by the price of oil and the amount of oil being sold in the markets.
There is a whole lot more to the picture than just Treasury and Fed...
Just be glad we aren't in an inflationary cycle along with the recession. Remember stag-flation?
