Real reason for dollar decline
Fed has RAISED rates. Corporate profits are at a record highs. Economic forecasts are good. Dollar is declining simply because too many of them of been created out of thin air by the government and fractional reserve banking. They are literally "worth less". There hasn't been price inflation in manufactured items because of the competition from other countries. There has been TREMENDOUS inflation in housing and financial assets. That is where all the excess dollars have gone. People outside the US know the dollars are worth less but they can't sell all at once or they will crash the dollar and then their dollars really will be worthless. If you are an American you should definiitely invest in foreign currencies. It is all more complicated than this, but this is he basic answer.
