How is the dollar strengthening and oil price dropping? Are overseas investors buying up dollars? I know other countries are bad-—but are they so bad they they want our dollar?
The Euro is weakening faster than the Dollar as the European economy declines faster than the US economy. Other currencies are being inflated by their respective Governments (Mexico, Japan, etc.) at a faster rate than we are inflating the Dollar.
The price of oil has hit "Demand Destruction" levels. Supply chains are starting to contract due to shipping costs.
