There are many ways the government can skin this cat.

They can continue to let the banks to the dirty work to temporarily knock down the PMs and the Mining stocks to boost the value of the dollar so crude is a bit cheaper.

The dollar also depends on what happens in Europe. The buck might look like the lesser of the 2 evils and people might sell the euro and buy the buck albeit temporarily until the whole financial sector implodes.

It's election year and everyone knows that high commodity prices don't bode well for the Republicans. The Dollar is taking a back seat to the price of oil so a lot will depend on what OPEC does in September.

Who knows what Russia will do??? Hopefully Saudi will pick up any slack by Russia.

Many Currency Gurus think of the buck as undervalued and the euro as overvalued so I expect a little more wind from this dollar rally. 4-6 months at the most before reality sets in and the buck drops to a new all time low.

To be honest I hope this madness sticks around that long so I can replace my carpet with 100oz bars of Ag.
