I'm not sure what the author is really saying, Well, I think he's suggesting that based upon the FX Swaps rates tell us whether there is a shortage of USD in the global economy.. Gotta have dollars to buy commodities.. oil, nat-gas.. gold.. etc.. as they are priced in Dollars. Right? But the BIS was discussing some two+ years ago that there was some $9 Trillion in USD denominated debt outside of the US.. So the stronger the dollar gets, the more likely these loans default, or require accelerated repayment.. Hawk

Yes.. That's what I'm taking away from it.. That there is a short-squeeze spending on the USD.. Deflation.. USD denominated Debt default (destruction of money) Every loan denominated in dollars is actually a "short" position against the dollar.. Therefore, there is a tremendous demand for USD overseas.. I also think we're seeing increased demand for dollars from India where they just banned "high value" bank notes, purportedly to stifle criminal activity.. It's apparently creating a lot of chaos over there.. Hence Gold and USD are selling at a premium.. Not sure if that's responsible for the latest surge in the USD.. but could explain a lot.. zerohedge.com Hawk
