I think the “Foreign Aid” dollar exchange rate has done its job and “they” (futures price regulators) started reversing it. Note on futures chart below the June 2014 obviously manual adjustment higher. It’s all FOREIGN AID in my book.
There has been so much various forms of foreign aid over decades, I have to assume we have a foreign controlled or pro foreign “US Gov’t” in name only. Occasionally “they” throw us a bone, give us a few good years, to keep us alive for their own good.
Note the post war boom, 1945 to 1975. We deserved it after all the killing and financial costs we absorbed, and they gave it to us until they thought we had enough in 1975. Banks are simply global gov’ts imo.
