Re your “Not sure what is going on with the dollar but it almost looks like panic selling”
Comment:
In June 2014 it looked like panic buying. My view the big dollar moves are simply big manual abrupt adjustments, NOT natural market forces at all. The “dollar” values and moves these days is the global “punch bowl”.
Lowering the Dollar is like bringing the punch bowl to America. Raising the dollar brings the punch to non-USA countries.
