King Dollar is Looking a Bit Shanty as of Late

Most of the post election dollar madness has been revoked. It makes perfect sense, actually. Trump want to spend money like a drunken sailor. To do that, he’ll need to borrow money. Hence, the perception is for easy monetary policy, in spite of what the Fed is saying.

Plus, there’s a lot of moving parts with European QE, perhaps coming to an end or maybe even a rate hike just around the bend. The dollar index now sports at 98 handle. Look for it to trade down to Trump election night scare lows at 96.

Over a longer time frame, you can clearly see the affect European QE has had on the dollar — pushing it higher on a continuous basis.

There’s a lot of potential downside to the dollar should policy start to go the other way.

Bullish for gold.

    Regardless, the long term trend for the confetti called dollar is up. Way up; as EU starts imploding. Paper gold is bullshit. Just buy a few eagles/maples w/ cash and keep it under your mattress.

      BTC is great until hot war breaks-out and cutting fiber optic cables and shooting communication satellites out of the sky becomes fashionable.
