No. You are. The Dollar Declines from approximately $120 to $85 dollars.
You mean when the trade deficit more than doubled from $230 billion to $468 billion while the dollar rose by 25%? If that's not proof that you're right, I don't know what is. LOL!!
LOL right back at you. The state interventions in currency of the Chinese, the Japanese, the Pacific Rim, etc "pegging" or ...worse. Example, when the PRC first set their peg...they did a massive depreciation of their currency to establish their price advantages. And then kept it locked tight since...with only some lip-service about floating it in the last year. A number of Pacific Rim competitors to China, felt forced to follow similarly, albeit far less aggressively, since they are in trade for rather different reasons.
So sometimes factors make the dollar go up and sometimes factors make the dollar go down.
NOt just sometimes. Sometimes fundamentals of supply-demand are pure economic, overwhelming the factors of state intervention.
While the deficit constantly increases.
And the Dollar is more or less constantly decreasing the last five years now...not just four...
Makes me wonder, "Where Is the Dollar-Deficit Relationship?"
See above... Fool.
Talking about yourself again Todd.
Like I said before, you just like to hear yourself talk, don't you? You never add any information to the discussion. At least no correct information.
In fact, I am the only source for accurate information in your dark world. You just can't handle the truth.
You're funny. But you can't read a chart. How does the dollar decrease from 120 dollars to 85 dollars?
The state interventions in currency of the Chinese, the Japanese, the Pacific Rim, etc "pegging" or ...worse.
So interventions can break the "relationship" between the deficit and the dollar? Thanks for admitting your error.
And the Dollar is more or less constantly decreasing the last five years now...not just four...
If there was a relationship, the dollar would constantly weaken, every year, not just half of the time.
In fact, I am the only source for accurate information
You're a source of humor. An object of ridicule.
Tell me again how the Fed sets the interest rate on Treasury Bills. That was funny.
Priceless!!
