USD demand is very high globally and domestically right now. Let's hope that doesn't change over night.

That, combined with the fact that it's not like any major developed economy is doing that much better, means US goods, services and financial assets are still pretty competitive with the rest of the world. The dollar is up 40% vs the lows of 2008. When DXY is back at 70, it's time to worry about a crack in the dollar reserve system. https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/TVC-DXY/ https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/TVC-DXY/
