So you need to understand the rates rising in the bond market and the FOMC are just reacting and raising prime rates.
They are a delivery boi and nothing moar
They dollar is still the world's reserve currency in name only
It ded already and they have to keep up the illusion that it is strong.
Recall Shrub's Sec. of Treasury John Snow said "we support a strong dollar"
and it then fell off a cliff.
Watch what they do not what they say.
The shitpile of derivatives only give the illusion it haz value and that is by decree
Look at the Yen-fallen off a cliff and that increases the value of the dollar just by that movement alone
