Dollar Dithers: Is This the End of the Greenback's Reign?

Choppy Waters Just the Way I Like 'Em

Alright folks Axe here. You see what's happening? The dollar's doing the cha cha one step forward two steps back. Iran Israel sounds like a bad real estate deal gone south.

It's seasoned just right.

Safe Haven? More Like Safe ish

Used to be the world went sideways the dollar was your rock. Now? It's slipping and sliding like a Wall Street intern on a bender. Velis at BNY Markets is scratching his head wondering where the haven bid went. Me? I'm wondering who's shorting the dollar and how I can get in on it. “What is money? It’s the string they use to tie you up.

Oil Slick and Currency Kicks
