As usual with spin - "propel" is a gross exaggeration.
The level of spin from Wall Street and mainstream media over the last year has been noticeable - all an attempt to retain confidence, but where the facts/performance don't match the tales.
A weak dollar is, overall, not a good thing. Consumption levels greatly exceed exports and the cost of paying for imports with cheap dollars far exceeds any export gains. Tho sure, - there "should" at least be some increase in exports. There has never been a trading surplus for almost 40 years - fat chance of it happening now.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street spin continues - from one of the worst performing markets in the world with annual gains of under 3.5% over the last five years. Neighboring Canada and Mexico far exceed that level.
