                              On the Frenzied Forex Front

On Friday the dollar sank against the majors , with the Yen hitting 5 week highs 
while the EC  closed fractionally under the years highs set on Jan 2nd. .. even more impressing was the Swiss 
closing at it's highest level since Oct of last year.   Cable closed at year highs as did the Canadian dollar , with  our favorite aussie dollar accomplishing that feat on Thursday all good and clearly welcome ... 

point of note.. On Friday the chief economist for the Dallas Fed research team , who also heads the  Assoc of Business Economists//NABE..when asked if the Fed is worried about inflation said , the Fed is always watching for incipient inflation.. but termed the recent price rises from the NABE point of View as reinflation or the end of Deflation.. so to speak.. Kudos' to him , this is something we have been pointing out for some time now and say to inflation hawks , that they have it all wrong.. what people fear the most is actually the cure to the economic malaise..
