I’m heading to the Australian dollar, but have to wait a little because the market is crashing and for some strange reason the dollar goes up when stocks go down. Something to do with the carry trade. If someone has an explanation, I’d love to know.

Stock goes down if dollar gets stronger in relation to other currency.

Carry trade. Fed gives money to bank. Bank buys T-Bills from treasury. Treasury buys back T-Bill ten days later with 3% profit to bank.

The Euro is getting weaker because Greece and Portugal are financial train wrecks and their Govt’s have been BS the rest of Europe, So money heads to a safe zone.
