Nervous Europeans are converting their euros into dollar denominated investments. This is strengthening the dollar and is a huge capital transfer into the American economy. This will cause a temporary US economic improvement. (lucky Obama). But soon the Europeans will be imposing capital transfer restrictions. This will diminish free trade and create even worse economic conditions throughout the world.

Evidently Merkel is already planning a press conference to sternly warn Hollande on this very topic.

The cracking, fracturing and flaking apart of the Eurozone should be a spectacle by summertime.
