To the extent that the level of the dollar is the inverse of oil (and perhaps gold and food prices as well) this item may be significant:

NEWS ALERT
from The Wall Street Journal Nov. 9, 2008

China's government set plans for 4 trillion yuan, or $586 billion, in spending and stimulus measures through the end of 2010 aimed specifically to target people's livelihood in an effort to offset the impact of slowing global growth and unlock the spending power of its vast population.


If some of the "spending power of its vast population" goes to bacon, gasoline, and to increasing a small stash of gold as an inflation hedge (instead of bank deposits and ultimately U. S. T-bonds), those items may rise in price and rise even faster with every downward tick of the dollar.

That's the way I am going to bet, anyhow.
