WELL DUH! – Argentina pulls ahead of Chile in wine exports to U.S.

This shouldn’t come as any surprise to anybody:

Argentina pulls ahead of Chile in wine exports to U.S.

Chile right now has a crisis because their peso is strong against almost every other currency, especially the dollar. (Click on “view” — right-hand box — for the one-year chart.)

The Argentinian peso is the ONLY currency from a wine-producing country that is doing worse than the dollar.(Click on “view” — right-hand box — for the one-year chart.)

Hmmmm, the Aussie dollar wallops the U.S. dollar and their imports get expensive, go down. Evita’s currency tanks against the greenback and imports go up.

Not rocket science in a global economy.
