Visualizing Currency Wars
Still confused by the whole concept of currency wars? Wondering why every day some new nation is said to have entered into the 21st century digital equivalent of good old fashioned dive bombing, when the only thing diving is the dollar? Then the following interactive infographic from the FT is for you. The data after the jump (free registration may be required) allows readers to explore the background and actions in the so-called currency wars, looking at the economic and political basis of the key countries’ actions.
Full interactive report after the jump.
And now that you know what it is, prepare to see it morph from merely the FX arena, to trade, and possibly elsewhere.

Go Iraq Dinar! ;)
Damned way to create jobs and wealth, by devaluing the currency. But if everyone tries to devalue their currency, its got to lead to some big time inflation. Lots of money looking for a place to go.
LOL obama cheerleader burnet attacking bloggers for being too negative re the obama economy
hilarious. ms fraud upset that someone may listen to bloggers; says they dont have "formal journalistic training" eg they are not trained liars
I was waiting for her to mention ZH. Not a squeek. And the jerk Obama supporter was amazing, with his laundry list of blogger lies and no one calling him on the never ending 50 year lie of the MSM.
I m sure ZH is at the top of their list. Just a matter of time before the attacks fly.
either bow down and worship the one or shut up
no such thing as bad publicity!
I doubt they are stupid enough to give ZH the airtime that an attack would require.
Of course, listening to other commentators on the net slam ZH was what drew me here. I be reading something interesting, they would mention ZH as a source, yet always do it with some sort of disclaimer to distance them from "the crazies that write on ZH."
Which was all of the motivation I needed to see what was going on.
Why do they have to engage the bloggers in an adverserial manner? Why not take the bias out of their reporting and present ZH data and Obama/Ben's data and let viewer decide? They might gain some credibility if they changed their approach and stopped treating viewers as potential pockets to invite to their rigged casino.
"Why not take the bias out of their reporting and present ZH data and Obama/Ben's data and let viewer decide?"
Because they are terrified the people will UNDERSTAND.
How about a look at the U.S., China, and Japan vs. all other foreign holders of Treasury securities? This is another aspect of foreign influence and possible front in the global "financial wars."

Hmm looks like the US is handily winning the devaluation race. Just goes to show Americans are the best at anything we put our mind to, particularly fraud and self destruction. USA! USA! USA!
geithner a lock for gold metal in lying
The race to the bottom has begun in earnest. The objective of the "war" is to get to the bottom of worthlessness. Whichever currency becomes worthless first "wins"...LOL!
Cut expenses, stop paying bankster debt, buy [physical] Gold, sit back, relax and watch all the fun unfold in real-time 3D right before your eyes ;-)
Race to Debase!
Well said!
Let's cut to the chase
in the race to debase
they'll cum on your face
and then ask to embrace
redpill pick up the pace
over the hill bound to get maced
your a shill, attempting to abase
pop a blue pill put on your girl's lace
It's a wrap, or should I say closed case
The race to debase is all over Ben's face
^ FTW
for the win OR fuck the world?
I meant for the win.
Ben means the other...
GG,
You really serious on the ALL IN 100% physical Gold?.
Can someone please explain why the Swedish Krona is part of the dollar index?
"Still confused by the whole concept of currency wars?"
Im confused as to why the market is still going higher
Because the thing it is priced in (currency) keeps losing value faster than whatever garbage the stock market is composed of at this point. For example, at some point in the (near) future, even an ounce of human turd will be priced in thousands of dollars because thats how worthless the currency will have become.
Exactly, when the price of gold or the DJ changes, ordinarily it would reflect changes in supply/demand for that 'commodity', but we are not in an ordinary environment!
The underlying currency is being devalued, meaning its not the value of gold or an index that has changed, it is the value of the currency that has fallen.

We have a few articles about the Currency Wars up on PsychoNews right now.
good point: feces will take the place of petroleum fertilizer.
and my BMs will trade at a premium to the rest of yours' because MY SHIT DON'T STINK hahahahahahaha
The “catalyst” is … gold & silver is money.
Me too , but I believe one can't expect the market to act according to ones logic or expectaions . A $1.00 stock , that cost .83c ( dollar value Aug 24 ) , today costs .77c so so then stocks real value drop in US fiatscos was .092% , so then the stock price rose from $1.00 to $1.092 in that 2 month period to cover the devaluation by Bogus Benny B.
At your grocery and at the gas pump you will see this too . Its called inflation due to devaluation . Hope this is not too simplified
judefetzen is going global bitches.
Got food, guns, and gold? America is DEAD.
Please change your Avatar......Gahhhhhhhhh.

now yaw just bein fweekin weedicuwuss.
i recall talking to the in-laws about congress' vote for yuan revaluation..first thing they said...how can you vote to tell another country to change the way they value their currency? I figured there still is hope.
Back in Weimar Germany, when they realized their paper money was becoming worthless they had a term for it: "Confetti"!
They literally calling their fiat money confetti (Jew confetti, to be historically accurate)
Don't skirt around the adjective, "jew," it helps to put historical context around the two financial crises, ours now and theirs then.
It seems the same fingerprints may be on the steering wheel of this crash as well.
Germany blamed the Jew for its problems 8 decades ago . History repeats . There will be another persecution against the Jews in near future . Biblically speaking .
You have to skirt around the adjective "jew" - ask Helen Thomas.
20 bucks says somebody plays the anti-semitism card on you here in 10,9,8,7...
Why? jews aren't semites. At all.
Shortly followed by an example of Godwins Law in 3,2,1..
ah, one of those "Godwin's Law Nazis", eh?
It's too bad that Jews aren't semites, because anti-semitism is defined as "prejudice against or hostility towards Jews".
