USD is being diluted right now. Imagine lots of water being created. In the mean time, lots of countries around the world and soaking up this water. This temporarily create an illusion that USD isn’t diluted. Its an ILLUSION and will not end well

The strength of the “dollar” is fairly useless. We let the politicians raise the debt ceiling time and time again and find ourselves 18.3 Trillion in debt. Interest rates cannot be raised or we will not be able to service the interest on our beloved debt which trickles down to our savings not making sqaut for us. The dollar year over year is losing value, its just losing it at a slower pace compared to other currencies.

This move by China is to spur economic growth after the lowering interest still didn’t achieve it. This action resulted in an appreciation of the dollar. According to an economist, the devaluation increases the chance of the yuan being included in the IMF’s Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket as China’s goal is to internationalize the yuan in hope of it challenging the dollar for world reserve status.

A rise in the dollar over China’s action doesn’t mean that the dollar overall is not loosing it values as the dollar is expected to appreciate as other nations are expected also to devalue their currencies against the dollar in reaction China’s action.

With the old way stuff worked the dollar should be losing value. But the “old’ way is clearly broken.

Value is in the eye of the beholder and frankly, has little to do with currency manipulation. The dollar today - is the least worse currency. For now.

It doesn't mean the "value" of the dollar is strong. The economies across the world all suck.
