Big changes are happening in the world of business! Companies in the US aren't making as much money as before. But, companies in Europe and some parts of Asia are doing better. This is because of several reasons, including the strong US dollar and different government policies.
- The US dollar is strong, making it harder for US companies to earn money overseas.
- Europe's economy is doing better than expected, and their central bank might lower interest rates to help businesses grow more.
- Some US companies are worried about less government spending and possible trade problems.
