Question: what does "rising dollar" mean? 

Answer: It means the value of the dollar is rising in comparison to another currency.\n\nFor example, the Canadian dollar has risen massively in comparison to the US dollar. That means that with a canadian dollar, I can buy more US stuff for cheaper and people in the US can buy less stuff more expensive from Canada.
