Dollar's rise only temporary

Chris Gaffney in Friday's Daily Pfennig comments on the recent rise in the dollar and puts it down to a sell-off in emerging market equities and some selling of gold to settle cash calls. He says the money is only "parked" in the dollar and will be off again soon:

The dollar will continue to trend down versus the currencies of economies that are better off.
As investors move away from riskier assets, the countries with strong balance sheets will begin to trade at a premium.


This refocusing on fundamentals suggests a return to sanity is on its way - initially not pleasant.
