Is The US Dollar Going To Rally?

Q: If there were to be a snap back, how powerful do you think it might be, are we talking about a big pullback for the dollar considering how much it sold off these past few months?

A: That I doubt because the Federal Reserve and the US government pursue policies that are not conducive to a strong US dollar. But as I said we are very oversold and could see some rebound, maybe around 10% or so. But I would not expect the US dollar to be structurally a strong currency in the next few years - quite on the contrary I think the US dollar will continue to lose its purchasing power.
