Watch for THIS After the Swiss Surprise

ELK GROVE, Calif. - Feb. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Switzerland dropped the Franc-Euro connection and shocked the financial world but what should shock is the U.S. dollar and how it continues to dominate. When the Swiss National Bank made the announcement the franc jumped almost 40% against the euro. Many in the financial media called this action a form of "currency war". This probably was an action that displays a change in economic and financial conditions that justify using the franc and the dollar over the euro and other global currencies.

The franc has had a sorted past with the euro, after the financial crisis money poured into the franc. The franc rose about 25% against the euro which was a massive threat to the swiss economy. The Swiss National Bank began it's own monetary easing of selling francs and buying euros.

It was about that time that the European Central Bank began to create it's own stimulus. The ECB set aside over a trillion euros to buy bonds from European financial markets. Releasing its tie to the euro will make the franc less attractive so they will be able to print francs and release to the market over time.

There is a reality in Switzerland that is unusual to us here, it's deflation. To push people away from the franc they dropped rates into the negative range. If someone wants to deposit money into the bank they have to pay up to 1.25% interest. And yet the franc and the Swiss bank are still getting plenty of investors.

This is shocking enough but there is another side to this currency coin. If you search the internet you will find plenty of compelling articles detailing the coming demise of the U.S. Dollar. It is clear that there is no end in sight to the U.S. deficit among other countless issues that threaten the dollars integrity.

However, over the last few months the dollar has soared over 18% against the euro and nearly 12% against the pound. The dollar index is up almost 15% against world currencies over the last few months. Despite the shape of our balance sheets, the U.S. still looks to be in less danger than the Europeans finances, most of which can't hold up their debts without help from each other and the European Central Bank.

It does not look like anything will change this course anytime soon which would push the U.S. dollar higher. Greece and other European issues will only push the dollar higher and if the Fed raises rates it could push the dollar further into the spotlight.
