Could you elaborate on the implications of a high dollar index for the global economy? On one hand, it seems to indicate the strength of the US economy, but on the other, could it be detrimental to international trade and the financial stability of other economies? Are there any potential benefits for investors or is it primarily a cause for concern? Would you say the current level of the dollar index is sustainable or are we likely to see significant fluctuations in the
NEAR future? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
