The dollar's rally is over
The Fed has effectively killed it with massive dollar selling of the past two months.
The good news is, they will have a huge profit on their foreign currency position.
The bad news is, it translates into a decline in Americans' purchasing power.
But, hey, at least taxpayers are getting "payback," right?
Maybe they'll divvy up the Fed's trading profit and send us all a check!
Don't hold your breath.

HEY - it all makes a little more sense - all the foreign Doom and Gloom for the USA is a function of those economies' auto-forecast -

AT least it's mainly our volatility and everyone else is on for a ride.
They are only projecting their fears of their country on to their conception of the USA.
the Germans appear to be more confident though they "are not a sovereign nation unable to print their own money without going bankrupt"
Again - if we keep printing money and lowering interest rates, are the Feds up to the old trick of creating a follow up inflationary bubble which manifests differently ?
Pound on its way back up.
