Good morning Farmboy. I would just like to bring to everybody’s attention,
“the author’s interpretation of that $ chart”. The interpretation assumes natural market forces.
We all here know, from being PM investors, for DECADES, that the futures market is rigged and used by the gov’t to manage and control prices. (until the distortion creates reality) supposedly via Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.
We have to assume the Gov’t on purpose ran the dollar zig zag up huge in 6 months time with a manual adjustment after June 2014. (to help other nations exports)
My interpretation on Dec 3rd assumed on that DAY, TPTB decided back off on helping other nations exports, and get back to helping the most important nation, the USA exports, and started dropping dollar fast. Like when they jacked it up.
