SiP Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Potatohead Dollar is falling because 1. Europe and many countries are better preparre for covid19. 2 US is in deep trouble with covid19. this means lower interest rate till 2025. 3 Europe just made a historic turn - EU created mutual bonds (debt) on last summit. They agreed to debt mutualisation, at least for covid19 grants. This means A. euro is safe B. there is new debt instrument to buy (rich countries could now buy euro debt instead of dollar debt) all in all, means euro is going higher. Many talks about 1.25 or even 1.35 for eurusd and.... china is now longer buying dollar debt. Trade wars. This meams deep troubles for dollar.

When EUR/USD clears congestion area 1.20/1.25 it will go to 1.50/1.60. We are right now in a mental transition phase. Soon folks will realize that they have to have European stocks, you can‘t have a 80% or so exposure to US stocks when the Dollar tumbles like a dove. So folks will reduce USD denominated exposure and built up much more exposure to European and Emerging Market stuff. My scenerio is that there will be one last attempt to save the USD: When they come back from The Hamptons. But that will fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Faith in Reserve currency, which is helping Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your case that would mean gpimg back to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It‘s the same with Oil: you never see that quoted in EUR, although that would be vital for a Germany based investor. Also tricky with the miners: If they only go up slightly, but USD falls a lot, I could end up actually losing money with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
