Decline of the Dollar

[Terrel L. Shields]

Currently, the dollar is two standard deviations above its 50-year average, suggesting limited room for further appreciation. Historically, the dollar has alternated between periods of strength and weakness, making a downturn likely at some point, though the timing is uncertain.

Clearly we see the Dollar gotten weaker against foreign currencies since Trump came into office.
With his support for cryptocurrencies, Trump has adversely affected the Dollar as the World currency.

And with an unstable and corrupt bully in the WH alienating allies, trade partners and allying with despots, nations no longer trust America and much as some love to dump on Biden, trust and stability were high value and once gone hard to replace and the trust and stalbity was the bedrock the of US dollar position.
We might win a few tariff negotiations but if the dollar suffers the loss it will far outweigh any gain

Trump simply does not care what happens to America, despite his MAGA slogan - he is an unhinged narcissist who will press his narrow slice of ideas no matter what harm they cause, and if they fail, he simply blames everyone else. Meanwhile, as seen by his crypto coin and embrace of Musk and other billionaires and accepting a 400 million private jet gift from Qatar his main goal is grift as many billions as he can in this term and run. He will add trillions to the debt as he rolls out costly spending programs and scoffs at the law if it tries to stop him -wet teh roller of congress and he is disbanding lawful agencies that could stop him = his attitude is defu the courts and even the constiotn and let the lawsuits pile up, he is untochable.

With his tariff deal with Britain, the world now sees what there will always be a 10% minimum tariff.
Time for them to look for other markets.

Tariffs have affected my purchases. I'm seeing printer ink has increased.
Good thing I bought washer/dryer for my rental last month. I see the price would have cost me at $300 this month.

Trump has caused so much uncertainty.
United CEO just spoke today and said safety is their number one concern, blah, blah, blah.
He said he can control the safety of the planes and the schedule but not the problems at the airport. FAA needs to do better.
I'm not reassured nor confident that my flights will arrive and leave on time.

Doesn't change the fact that you never post topics on appraisals. Why are you even here? Lonely?

I stay in my own lane, something you apparently have never learned.

I could run rings around you even after being retired for fourteen years.

Good grief....
How rich are you....

 

[Terrel L. Shields]

Again, what part of two standard deviations do you not understand.

The dollar is still over the 100 index value.

Good grief....
How rich are you....

Very. Thanks Biden.

 

[Joe Flacco]

If we want to boost manufacturing and exports then we want a weaker dollar.

Some people benefit from strong dollar and other people benefit from weak dollar.

What is remarkable to me is people don't understand that the dollar is worth $.14 compared to it's full value in 1972, a direct result of the Keynesian fiction that government debt doesn't matter.
