Quote from scriabinop23:
You couldn't pay me to hold Yuan. I'll take gold or the euro anyday over the Yuan. For every dollar the Fed prints, the Chinese will need to print two to continue subsidizing their export economy - and they will.
And on Russia dumping the US - good for us, just another trade partner to hold less political leverage over our dealings. Again, do I care what Russia does? If the US merely decided to go to a nuclear power economy (possible, but not realistic unless it became a necessity), Russia's leverage over the energy markets would be destroyed. This country will devalue at an instant to attain political goals. Foreign investors are of no value to them.
China matters less than we give them credit for. I say weaken the dollar via printing, devaluing their reserves, price them out of our import demand markets, let them dump their assets once and for all, and restimulate local US industry to replace what China had artificially attained via a predatory currency-driven export subsidy - and all will be much better. There is nothing of worthwhile substance in these talks. Trade is a relatively small part of the US economy.
I think once this all plays out, the cathartic run from the dollar will result in the greatest near term buy we've ever seen. I'll put my orders in at 2.00/euro.
