Lower highs, lower lows for the Dollar imo mate but I'm talking about a multi-year read here, not the short term stuff of course - I think FX for the next five years will be all over the place as the BIG money shifts seats but they've gotta sell it all to retail first as always.
Just my read - I don't see how the US competes in the World with a strong currency and you've already got the Eastern hemisphere making very real moves away from trading with it. The last guy they could take out for doing such was Gaddafi. All the low hanging fruit's gone in that respect, they don't have the capability to take on countries backed directly by Russia/China so I'm calling a busted flush - eventually. Same read on oil BTW - will also become irrelevant over years/decades but it doesn't mean the short term price won't fly for the big offload.
The US needs a "Brexit" - hence the trade wars sabre rattling imo, they're desperate to tear it down and start again from a lower base, it's all but an official devaluation attempt imo :)
