plummeting euro re-precipitating its plunging....

It's like an uncontrollable bobsleigh on a very slight incline. The history of the price of the euro shows a period of the dollar/euro ratio at less than 0.9. Its current price of 1.35 is intermediate between a high of about 1.5 and lw of 0.9. The dollar is low becquse of the balance of payment deficits which continue to pour more dollars into foreign currency reserves. The euro does not suffer from this affliction. Why do you think it's an affliction? |

The boat will only sink if the Chinese refuse to take dollars for x-boxes. Since they don't want to starve to death, they don't do that.

If they stop taking dollars, and if they sell on the bond markets some of their holdings, the US will not be able to borrow at the interest rate they do now. The US is another Greece in the making if that happens. The US budget is currently very depending on low interest rates. With 10 yr bonds around 2%, and the historical rates at least double that the risk there is significant. Things can change quickly, only a couàple of years ago Greek bond were only 15 basis points above the German. That means a couple of % per year rates. The rates now are over 20%. Nobody believed that Greece was in trouble a couple years ago. |
