IMO, the USD will dutifully strengthen a little on Hawk Talk and actual hikes, and will dutifully weaken on Pause Talk and actual pauses. But I am contrarian on the matter of what the USD ultimately does, in the face of whatever sustained FED policy we get. To wit: if the FED for example does keep tightening into a slowing economy and we go into recession, that will be curtains for the dollar. In contrast, avoidance of recession is mildly dollar supportive. I'm pretty much contra The Textbook on what happens to the dollar going forward, bascially, because in the textbook there's no mention of the aggregate public and private debt. Rate Hikes into a recession puts the Debt in to play. It's akin to Calling the Loan. LP

Message 22526931 This time it's different. The old red white and blue, she ain't what she used to be. Back in the '70s and '80s MOST countries didn't hate the USA like they do today. It's an empire in decline and nothing is going to stop that besides if the USA is ever going to be competitive again it must let the dollar crash....it will. The morality side of this will win the day in the end because deficits are immoral, exploitation and slavery. Americans live in shameless luxury, so fat they can't get into their Hummers, while they enslave other countties economically. You know the drill and now it's coming home to roost. ALL empires eventually collapse in similar fashion to the Roman Empire. ---------------------- "Iran was instrumental to the blowup in the gold price in 1979-80, when it hit $850.
