Contrary to what many people seem to think, and especially promoted by the companies trying to scare people into buying gold – the US dollar has been getting stronger, not “falling”.
Back before this global panic started, it took about $1.28 to buy one Euro (the most important benchmark currency). When the panic started breaking out, the US dollar got up to about $1.45 to buy one Euro, but it didn’t stay there very long. As of today, the dollar is back to $1.25 for a Euro. While the dollar may decline in the future, for now the world continues to believe that the US is the safest place to weather this storm.
