Can We Have Hyperinflation here...

...without the dollar falling in value relative to other currencies? If every other major nation is preparing new stimulus plans and racing their interest rates to the bottom could we have internal inflation not represented on the currency markets??

Is this why the US is pushing its stimulus spending plans onto other countries?

Yup. One major possibility that would make matters worse is price controls.

Hyperinflation is highly unlikely. Inflation is a possiblibiy once the market finally corrects itself. It only happens when the value of the currency collapses. If onl;y the US had high inflation the value of the dollar relative to other currencies would also be falling.

it's possible... but i don't think that all countries will inflate their currencies to the point of hyperinflation. so even if there is a lot of inflation worldwide... the dollar will lose the value the fastest, and i doubt that every single central bank in the world will all hyperinflate

Does the fact that many European countries do not want to have any more stimulus packages mean that they are afraid of inflation?

It seems that they are wanting to try something else...
