Answer: Fall in Benchmark Interest Rates.

Explanation:

This activity was caused by a Refinancing Drive. Refinancing is when entities get a new loan with a lower interest rate and pay off the older loan with a higher interest rate so that they can pay at the lower rate.

Bond interest rates are usually fixed so when interest rates in a country fall, bond holders don't benefit from that. One option they have to take advantage of that is to go on a Refinancing Drive and issue new bonds at those lower rates and then pay off the older ones.

That is what Apple, Deere, and Walt Disney have done.

Which of the following strategies can a country use to keep its products inexpensive for consumers in the U.S.?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Keeping its interest rates low

Explanation:

Interest rates correlate with the exchange rate of a country. Low-interest rates are unattractive to foreign investors. Investors associate low-interest rates with reduced returns. In the foreign exchange market, the demand for such a country's currency will below, resulting in a lower exchange rate against other currencies.

If a country has low-interest rates, its currency will be in low demand, meaning its strength will be relatively weaker against the US dollar.  One dollar will be able to buy a large quantity of goods and services from such a country. In other words, that country's exports will be cheaper in the USA.
