Regardless of the influence of the EUR on the USD, any currency whose base increases like the USD's has will most likely decrease in value. Because the Great Recession has been so deep, US interest rates are unlikely to go higher any time soon for fear of risking any damage to the 'recovery'. After all, the present political scheming is centered around how to stimulate more without calling any new programs a 'stimulus.' As a result, I am afraid we are in for a long period of very low interest rates in the US. If other countries raise their rates, that is fine with American policymakers as these rate hikes weaken the dollar, and the debt owed by the US (while stimulating US exports), every time they happen. Did you notice the Chinese kinda sorta reiterated their support of the USD the other day?
