Jimmy Rogers was on Kudlow last night . I will paraphrase his comments on the US$ . The US$ rally is " artificial" its strength is derived from short covering because " everyone " was short the dollar.

SOB <One of the challenges ahead may be a bullish surge in the USD again, as there is significant debt in Europe that needs to be rolled over that will bring stronger USD demand> I have never understood this even though I've seen many say it. Are European debts issued in $s. If so, I can understand wanting to buy back inflated debt compared to todays interest rates, and thus demand for $s. Why would they want to buy OUR debt(also demand for US $s)at this time. In other words, where does this demand for $s come from in Europe? TIA Peaceb2u
