If you're looking at the rate difference noted between the dollar and the Euro....you're seeing weakness in the Euro backed nations, where Wall St notes it as the dollar gaining strength and trying to pass it off as something else.

At the moment I don't care what the Euro does.

When and if they lower the Fed rates....that weakens the dollar directly to you. The spread between what you get and what banks get, trying to fix their problem, is widening.
