Selisih Export dan Import suatu negara yg membuat
Trade Balance plus atau minus akan berlangsung terus
meskipun ekonomi dunia melemah.
Tapi USD repatriation kenegara asalnya tentunya suatu saat
akan berakhir.
Dan ketika ini berakhir seharusnya USD akan melanjutkan
long term DOWNTRENDnya karena dunia tidak mau pegang mata
uang dari negara yg lagi krisis seperti tulisan dibawah.
Pertanyaannya kapan apresiasi usd berakhir ?. Apakah masih
lama atau sebentar lagi ?.

Gold, Silver Rally on Inflation Expectations; Platinum Advances

Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Gold rose the most in eight weeks on
speculation that central banks will add more liquidity to unfreeze
credit markets, spurring inflation and boosting the appeal of the
precious metal. Silver and platinum also gained.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the U.S. and other
countries are ready to take more action to boost lending. The dollar
declined against a basket of six major currencies after dropping 0.6
percent yesterday. More liquidity will devalue currencies and stoke
inflation, said Frank McGhee, the head dealer of Integrated Brokerage
Services LLC in Chicago.
``Basically, the government needs and wants an inflationary spurt
to turn this economy around,'' McGhee said. ``Gold is probably $100
to $150 too cheap, based on the amount of liquidity that's already
been pumped into the system.''
Gold futures for December delivery rose $37.50, or 5.3 percent, to
$742.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile
Exchange, the biggest gain for a most-active contract since Sept. 18.
The metal is up 1.1 percent this week.
Silver futures for December delivery jumped 69 cents, or 7.8
percent, to $9.49 an ounce. The metal is down 4.7 percent this week.
Platinum futures for January delivery rose $32.10, or 3.9 percent,
to $845.10 an ounce on the Nymex. Palladium for December delivery
gained $2.70, or 1.3 percent, to $216.65 an ounce.
The Fed has cut its benchmark interest rate to 1 percent from 5.25
percent in September 2007 and provided more than $1 trillion in loans
to financial institutions to help ease the worst credit crisis in
seven decades.
The collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. on Sept. 15 helped
trigger passage of a $700 billion bailout plan by the U.S. Since
then, gold traded as high as $936.30 on Oct. 10 and as low as $681 on
Oct. 24.
`Awash With Dollars'
Gold may rise as the dollar begins to slide, said Walter Otstott, a
senior broker at Dallas Commodity Co. in Dallas.
``Bargain hunters and investors are starting to appreciate gold for
its diversification attributes,'' Otstott said. ``Fundamentally, the
world is awash with dollars, and we should see the greenback resume
its long-term downward trend.''
The metal reached a record $1,033.90 in March as the decline in
borrowing costs sent the dollar to an all-time low against the euro
in July
