US- EZ trade deficit is around 10% of the total US trade deficit but the EUR rose only in the last December from below 1.00 to 1.22 way above the level justified by the trade imbalance simple data mining won't cut it. you seem to think the US/EZ trade balance is all that matters. the reality is more complex. consider the big picture of what's going on.

I am long the EUR since June 2001, and I think I posted that on SI LOL! You have been clueless about the EUR's rise over the past year, mumbling bizarre theories at every turn. Every time EUR made a new high, we could count on you coming up with another reason why EUR should go down - Europe is in recession, its countries spend loads on social security, including spas for the elderly. LOL! If THIS is you being long on EUR, I don't want hear what you have to say about stuff you are SHORT on! :-) "EUR was around 0.98/0.99 in November as of now it is 1.067 to the USD. EZ will choke under their own stifling labor laws, deficits are there higher than in the US and the balance of trade is shrinking. All this said the EUR is prone to a correction after a 7%+ run. IMHO the fast slide of the USD is intentional, done by hostile entities to damage the US credibility and economy" Message 18458465 "if Germany was not teetering on recession and German banks on the verge of bankruptcy I would not be surprised that the EUR would rise" siliconinvestor.com Here is you, saying some Shiite uprising possibly responsible for slide in USD: Message 18867861 Here is you,Saying "no real news" to cause EUR's decline the day it was announced that Germany was officially in recession: Message 18950175
