I am not an economist and don’t want to be but just a quick question: what is the ubiquitous currency speculator and manipulator Soros doing in all this? Can he have any significant impact on the value of the dollar in the runup to the November election? Just wondering.

I don't know what he is up to regarding currency speculation. If he is shorting the dollar, I hope he loses big. All that need to happen is that the dollar does not drop as much as he hoped or its value spike at the wrong moment.

Most of the smart money has been shorting the dollar for the past year or more.

Soros is just one of the players, and not even the largest one at this point.
