alamin, at some point, no, the dollar’s decline becomes a negative for U.S. stocks because invesrtos think the decline is too fast and no longer managable. At that point it becomes a negative for stocks because investors think it’s a signal that the U.S. economy is headed down interest rates will have to go up, and the U.S. currency is depreciating so quickly that they can’t make a profit in their own currency by buying U.S. assets. We’re a way from that at the moment.

So glad to have your clear thinking insights in the midst of all this…….
Does it stand to reason then if the $ continues to slide the stocks will keep going up?

The dollar will continue declining until China gives up the peg. The dollar will never rise above the Euro. The dollar is seeking parody with third world currencies. Our standard of living is too high. Third world countries can not rise high enough to match our standard, we need to meet them half way.
This is the view from my soap box!
