If anybody at LL knows a lot about the US sub prime crisis, the global credit crunch, the future actions of Bernanke, China, oil prices, the 2007/2008 winter weather in the northern parts of USA, what the White House is planning to do with the Iranian nuclear issue (diplomacy or war?), future consumer spending, US debt, inflation and all those other issues influencing on the future value of the US dollar, and in addition has some inside information from Canon, I`m sure they would be able to answer you
A crystal bowl is just as reliable as any of the experts on these things now, because the global economy and geopolitics are so complicated that most of these experts get it wrong. They didn`t predict 9.11, they didnĀ“t predict the war in Iraq, and most of them were not prepared for the sub prime crisis or the credit crunch connected to the hedge funds. All this nasty stuff came as a surprise, just as the Canon 5D was a happy surprise for the pundits and the photographic community (and perhaps a not so happy surprise for Nikon), when Canon announced it a couple of years ago.
All we can do is guessing, and if I should do my part (WHO THE HELL AM I???), I would certainly guess that the dollar will stay low for a while, and perhaps go even lower than today during the next six months.
Cheers!
