However, I think the subprime/credit problems the US is experiencing will be far worse than other countires, which will increase the downward pressure on the dollar as the Fed attempts to come to the rescue. The dollar is going to take quite a beating before this is over. I see any rises in the dollar as shorting opportunities and similarly any drops in tradable commodities are buying opportunities.

Currency rates are based on relative positions. It's true that there is now more evidence of consumer inflation and currencies with high inflation tend to fall in value relative to others, there is increasing evidence that other central banks are also stoking inflation and the dollar may perform relatively better against the Euro and the Yen than is expected. In fact there appears to be some movement in the currency markets - we are likely to see a big dollar rise in the next 3-4 months. This will (in the short term at least) lead to a fall in tradable commodity prices. Might it make more sense to think about ag commodities? Soulfire,

The onlything I think that will continue to appreciate will be the commodities. Wheat, corn, gold, silver, platanum and oil.

This is also a good time to consider placing your cash in foreign currencies as the dollar will continue to fall as the Fed pumps in more liquidity.
