The U.S. Dollar Index is not a very good indicator of anything.

You see, it is computed from a basket of other currencies and if those currencies are buying less at the same time as the U.S. dollar is buying less, the index does not reflect any difference.

It is a matter of relativity. If two rocks are falling and you are standing on one of them, the other rock looks like it is not falling compared with your position. The same aspect goes with currencies. If all currencies are falling and each of them is measured against the others, then none of them appear to be falling. If one were to stand outside of the picture and watch, then he would see all of them falling toward the rocks below.

Many people fail to understand the value of each those basket currencies are controlled by the same people and thus they can make all of them look relatively healthy. Who are those people one might ask? Bankers is the answer. Some believe because they see conflict between different banks in different countries, there is no collusion. If they think about this a bit more it may dawn on them those conflicts may be on purpose to make people think there is no collusion.
