I was having a beer the other week with an esteemed former colleague and superb commodities commentator, Tom Holland, who was saying that he kept hearing from people thinking the U.S. dollar would "crash" and that he thought they might be right.
For the past four years at least, currency analysts and commentators were saying the U.S. dollar was too strong and would correct.

The more likely case would be for the dollar to generally decline against all the major currencies, and of course take the Hong Kong dollar with it. I suggested to Tom that a sharp dollar decline may already have occurred, but that it happened against gold. ...
