Yes, there will be international political pressure to get the USD down, but it takes time. There will also be internal pressure to keep it high. Whatever happens, it will take some time to develop. If the USD goes lower in the near term, it will be as a result of higher interest rates. The Fed has signaled otherwise so I'm not expecting that anytime soon. My guess: we have at least a year of strong USD and low interest rates and, therefore, continued deflationary pressures. US stock markets should do relatively well as the rest of the world markets don't. My gut tells me that US stock markets shouldn't do well, but my brain tells me otherwise. Asia should be beyond interesting. Japan's problems coupled with USD strength and deflationary pressures suggest a perfect storm brewing. 2015 will be a hoot.
