<<USD must go much more down to start chopping off trade deficit>>

tough against the usual currencies, easier against commodities

if the game plays out in accordance with path of least resistance, then the deficit will get worse, as cost inflation gets digested by supply chain

such a scenario would be friendly for income yielding real estate in and near centers of production, and for gold

not great for negative-carry real estate, and bad for producers in high cost territories unless they are able to outsource still more

and blockage in trade would be fatal to geographies dependent on continuous and intravenous feeding on foreign surplus, regardless of whether the debt is in own printed paper or not

in such case, the debtor's stock market may blowup in spectacular style
