I hear you. I meant something different, though - the effect on USD-denominated transactions. Vi pointed out that USD-denominated commodities will go up as USD goes down. OK.

There's the same effect on foreign multinationals reporting revenues in USD. They lose, too. Only way to mitigate is with forex hedging.

USD foreign reserves? Should sell, but USD run hurts everybody with skin in The Game. Slow selloff?

Like everyone else, just trying to figure out the short-term impacts.
