Paul, The recent reversal in dollar vs. mark, yen, and Swiss franc means someone is selling the U.S. dollar to generate cash. A while back we discussed the point of critical mass in which Japanese banks and insurance companies would have to liquidate dollar assets when certain Nikeii averages were hit. I think that we are now at these levels and those banks are liquidating (selling dollars). Once their U.S. stock portfolio is gone guess what's next. The vaunted treasuries. We should already be seeing the yield of the treasury rising, however I suspect that the Federal Reserve is buying treasuries from Japan, China, and /or Germany to disguise these sales.

I caught a short look at the bond pits in Chicago and I think that they are just as confused as those on this thread on what is happening. We are definitely in unchartered waters. Gold continues to be the logical safe haven. But as Tina Turner might have sung "What's logic got to do with it?"

Terry,
