So if I have grasped what you said. The reason the dollar is falling and commodities are rising is the perception that the money will be loaned out. However this does not appear likely.

Do you think then that the dollar will rebound and commodity prices will fall, when it becomes apparent that the banks can't or won't lend?

Is it your opinion that this was done more to shore up the bank's balance sheets than to make money available for lending?

I would have thought the government bonds were cash equivilent and would be as good as cash on the balance sheet. What am I missing?

Sorry for all the questions, but this is hard.
