...break in borrowing costs would aid such industries as housing and autos. It might also help lower the lofty value of the dollar, which has risen to record levels because high U.S. interest rates have spurred foreigners to convert their money into dollars for investment in the U.S. A cheaper dollar, in turn, would help narrow the burgeoning U.S. trade deficit by making America's exports less costly and its imports more expensive.
