na temat wzrostu wartości dolara w ostatnich miesiącach. Autor pisze, że we wrześniu 2008 z powodu niedoboru dolarów banki centralne zwróciły się do FEDu z prośbą o dokonanie swapu walutowego. W rezultacie wartość dolara wzrosła.

During the current credit crisis the Fed first reacted to market conditions and requests from central banks starting in September 2008 by expanding its currency swap lines with the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank, and creating new swaps with the Bank of Japan, Bank of England and the Bank of Canada for $180 billion.

The original September tranche created by the Fed grew to 500 billion dollar swaps line as the Central Banks sought to prevent a currency crisis, an artificial dollar shortage in what amounted to a run on foreign banks for dollar holdings, as the credit crunch hit with its full fury.

Gdzie indziej autor pisze:
At the time I used this to project that the dollar 'strength' we were starting to see was nothing but a short squeeze, and that as the rally ran its course, the dollar would then drop back down to test the prior lows.
And so here we are.
Czyli należy się spodziewać głębszych spadków? (na poziomie z lipca 2008?)
