Cyber Monday Sales Surge and Economic Impacts

Cyber Monday has emerged as the biggest online shopping day of the year, with projected spending reaching a historic $13.2 billion. Major retailers have extended sales beyond a single day, enticing consumers to participate in multi-day events, particularly amid rising prices. The increasing popularity of buy-now, pay-later plans reflects consumer strategies to manage expenses during the holiday shopping season. In parallel, the strengthening U.S. dollar is being linked to anticipated economic policies from Trump, including tariffs and job market forecasts that may enhance dollar value against other currencies.
