Anyone pissed off by this? It used to be 1.3 or 1.4 to the Euro, now it's barely 1.1
I get ripped off anytime I buy anything from China.
It's due to the jedis at the Fed raising interest rates repeatedly in an attempt to sabotage Trump, despite leaving rates at 0% during the reign of Emperor Obama.
As well as that Republican presidents seem to result in a strong dollar first term - look at George W. Bush for instance, the dollar was worth more than a Euro for a while.
Even Trump is whinging about this shit.
How can the US, with the world's largest trade deficit, have a stronger currency than the Eurozone, with the world's largest trade surplus?
Goddam fuck this shit, I should just buy bitcoin, except I'd get totally jedied on the price by some yank.

Doesn't thw dollar being so strong mean that its better to dump it for other assets that are low?
