The Donald Trump victory on election night looked like doom for the U.S. dollar - at first.
After plunging 2% overnight, the U.S. dollar rebounded, and was actually up by midmorning Wednesday. Apparently Wall Street figured out that some of President-elect Trump's policies could be good for the dollar.

The year-long rally in the U.S. dollar has slowed, but it's far from over.
From July 2014 to March of this year, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) has soared by 25%. Since then, it has pulled back slightly. But the forces that drove the U.S dollar higher remain in place and will intensify in the months ahead.
Here's why the U.S. dollar will keep rising - and how to profit from it...

Larry Fink says the strong dollar is bad for the U.S. economy. That's no surprise. But the Blackrock boss didn't mention, in his April 6 interview with the Financial Times, that the skyrocketing dollar could trip up the biggest tech companies - those that thought themselves smart for parking squillions overseas to avoid U.S. taxes.

The U.S. dollar has been the world's de facto reserve currency for almost 90 years.
But this financial dominance may be nearing its end.
In recent years, China's been floating the idea the yuan should take on the dollar's role as the world's reserve currency.
In fact, the Chinese have already negotiated numerous bilateral trade deals that completely bypass it.
And they've even called for efforts to "de-Americanize" the global economy.
Whatever happens, China's economic rise foreshadows increased influence.
It's a trend that not only has serious implications, but also great profit opportunities, if you know what to expect...

According to Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon."
Well, apparently not...
There's certainly plenty of cause for inflation today. Every central bank in the Western world is holding interest rates down, and almost all of them are printing money like it's going out of style. And the big deficits governments were running should be making inflationary matters even worse. Taken together, monetary and fiscal policies are far more extreme than they have ever been.
But today inflation is only running at around 2% - well below where it should be, according to Milton's monetarist theories.
What does it all mean?
