Answer 1

A "weak US dollar" is caused by inflation, which is a sharp rise in the value of the dollar as well as goods and services. This makes it easier for those with debts to pay them, as the amount of debt remains the same while it becomes easier to get more money. Those who give out loans and such dislike inflation, as they get back money that is of lesser value than the money that they handed out.
Hope this helps!
