The Dollar’s Rocky Road

While it’s well known that the overall economy took a major downturn over the last two years, it is worth noting that the value of the U.S. dollar was dropping long before the current financial crisis began. In fact, the crisis actually caused a brief surge in the value of the dollar as investors eyed the greenback as a relatively stable investment during a volatile time. But since the economy has stabilized, the U.S. dollar has once again been in decline, dropping 5% in 2009 according to some indexes. While the dollar remains the reserve currency of choice for central banks around the world, how long before its declining value changes the global-currency landscape? Kiplinger.com takes a look at the dollar’s rocky road and deepening decline.
