"Why doesn't somebody explain to me why the US$ is relatively strong with respect to all currencies and absolutely strong with many currencies when our country's current account deficit is at record levels? What is creating the demand?"

Growth rate in the USA is pretty much the highest in the world. And with a higher growth rate, the GDP will out pace the trade deficit. Or if you prefer, the trade deficit can be held in abeyance until growth picks up in other countries. This is why I suspect Asia is not truly out of their problems. A pick up in seasonal commodities, doesn't mean that Asian/Europe production has increased noticeably. Still a bear on Asia here.

Growth.
