All I have to say on the subject is this. The largest economic power on the planet does not allow its currency to devaluate on the global market unless it is by design. If the powers that be wanted to prop-up the dollar, they would do so.

The current account deficit that the US has been running for the past several decades is unsustainable - and the 'strong dollar' policy is no longer a prudent one. I can assure you that the foreign debt load now held is at a critical level and the US economy cannot afford to borrow from the rest of the world for any longer. A weaker US currency is vital to closing the trade gap.
