A stronger dollar is a problem for U.S. stocks because it reduces what companies rake in when foreign sales are translated back into greenbacks.

The dollar has risen lately to a key level. And If it breaks above that, the stock market could drop.

It’s also reflective of a safe-haven trade, since the dollar is the global reserve currency, one that comes as economies around the globe suffer, something that can also pressure U.S. stocks. Another indication that the stronger dollar hasn’t much harmed the market yet is seen in stocks of companies vulnerable to a stronger dollar.
