Dollar facing 'power-shift': analysts

[RandomGuy]

First two, yes. Third one, it depends on the source of the inflation. I disagree with your analysis. I say the rates will not rise over this. They are too low anyway. As long as they don't jump too much, I don't care if they rise a little.

Care to bet?

Inflation = higher interest rates.

Very simple cause and effect.

They may do something like monkey with the money supply and have done so, but interest rates are the preferred method of reining in inflation for the Fed.

Well, I think the dollar falling down against foreign currencies is the best thing that can happen to this nation. Especially since the current congress and executive can only makes things worse for our trade balance otherwise.

It can only hep by increasing our export trade. But first you have to have
something to export. And we have just about stopped all manufacturing
of goods in this country. Consumer goods. We still have some heavy
goods that could help our trade deficit.

But remember something. We import a good portion of our food supply
anymore and most of our consumer goods. So, cost of living it going to
go up considerably.

And printing money like we will have to do soon, to support our
governments spending, is going to really hike the cost of living and
inflation rate.

Why do you think money people are hunting for places to put their money.
It isn't just in gold you know.
