aparently soros knows 'exactly' what the dollar will do but is not publicly saying for obvious reasons. he was right in 2002 about the dollar but then so was i.

spec, are you familiar with Soros' reflexivity concept. It's in the Alchemy of Finance.

ashraf,

dealers, traders, central banks etc. but traders trade based on what conditions are and speculate on trends. but fundamental changes can happen which would could change the opinion of traders and therefore the trend. traders have no choice but to act on news or try to forecast the news, directional trends etc. so a lot can happen in the near term that can change the opinion of traders for longer term directions.

carcle, i know all about soros and his speculative attacks .but speculative attacks dont last forever and come in different magnitudes. for example, the pound was speculated against heavily this year but how long did that last. natural market forces will then bring about an adjustment.

obviously thinly traded currencies can be heavily impacted through actions of even single speculators. but i cant see that happening against the usdx on a long term basis as economic fundamentals dont support a bear in my humble opinion.
