I would expect some of that extra cash will be going into buying oil tomorrow. Or into derivatives by the government to suppress the rise.

I think a lot of this money goes into pushing things down (gold/oil/grains) as well as buying them up.

I gotta disagree with you on this one, Russ.

Germany had just lost an expensive war, had no overseas assets to speak of, and was being milked for reparations. In short, it had nobody it could lean on.

The US still has the world's numero uno military force, the ability to extract real wealth from other countries, and could default on some its obligations with only small penalties.

It won't be fast, and today, it's global.

Just my opinion.
