We have achieved a bit of softening to the dollar over the last few days. It took a lot of news about oil prices going up, struggles with Russia, uncertainty of the US economy, coming elections. A whole bag of things--- just to get a small rebound in the other currencies.
We will be watching.
The important thing to remember is, the path of least resistance demonstrated by currencies is for the dollar's continued strength.
Even with literal saber-rattling from Russia, ultimately the world knows that the US is the one to bet on. Russia has too much to lose from playing hardball.
They've gotten used to Western products and have little capacity to make their own. Since the major economy in Russia is profiting from professional hooligans, international trust issues towards Russia are fading fast where financial matters are concerned.
