The FED will elicit help from all CBs, and will not fight this battle alone. If they lower interest rates, it will be in concert with the ECB and others. There will be no safe haven, and therefore no panic withdrawl from the US. The attempt is for a world wide economic upturn of course with an emphasis on re-inflation. They are all broke and printing money and buying each other's paper. The US happens to have the highest stack.

The seeds of inflation have long been sown and have sprouted forth in some obvious places. How much longer can prices for finished goods remain depressed in face of massive recent increases in raw material price? Which way will it break? Either commodities will crash down or the finished product price must rise. I think it depends upon consumer demand. Make your own judgment.

Meantime, the debt mountain continues to grow.

Eurodollars

I must be missing something. Can you briefly educate me on Eurodollars, please? Why are they any different from American dollars? Are Eurodollar interest rates much different than American dollar interest rates? Aren't Eurodollars just American dollars deposited in European banks?
