DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - A senior adviser to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump warned on Tuesday about the risk from a stronger dollar.
"We need to be careful about the rising currency," Anthony Scaramucci of Skybridge Capital told a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos.
David Rubenstein of the Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG) told the same panel that he feared a "Mexican-style" crisis if the dollar continued to rise, putting pressure on emerging market countries that have borrowed in dollars.
He said he expected a strengthening dollar to be the "biggest challenge" for the economic outlook over the coming year.
