I agree....dollar new lows....how can it not? You can't tell me the u.s. and the dollar are in better shape today than July 2008 at 71 dxy, after the financial system of the u.s. blew up in Sept. 2008. Look at all of the printing too. That dollar pig should sink to like 60....then the fed will freak. IMHO.
