Really?

I think those that have been Short the EUR/USD pair for over the last year would have a different opinion of that.

If your talking about crude prices then it is important that one have an understanding of the role that speculation on future contracts have had.


Thank you! The primary reason for gas prices has to do with speculators hired by the oil companies, who's only job is to find reasons to raise the price of gas. That's why gas prices always go down slowly, but rise sharply.

The valuation of the dollar is way down the list for reasons ANY prices for any product rise.


I don't think you get it. Yes oil speculators speculate but what are they speculating ON? Inflated currency thats already lost most of its value.

That is the point.
