"Something has to give way here"

The dollar's support, and ultimately it's downfall, is more a political than a market driven issue. Right now, there seems to be a split between the world's central bankers and its politicians in that regard. I don't think there's much mystery in the dollar's strength: global interest rate spreads go a long way to explain both the strong dollar and weak gold. So the BOJ and and ECB are worth watching. Case in point: on friday the BOJ hinted it wanted to end the 0% rate policy and, in a statement over the weekend probably directed at the BOJ, Miyazawa said he's worried the Japanese economy is about to stop.
