[DroppinScience]

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

[SobaViolence]

[QueenAdrock]

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

We're too cocky to let anyone else have the power. So fuck you, world!

[EN[i]GMA]

Any bitchass country be like "Yo, I'ms da supa-powa now f00!", we'z put deyz bitch ass on de ground.

[Bob]

do you think any of these countries will even be alive after our empire collapses? no way we're going down without a fight and with our style i have a feeling everyone's coming with us

[Echewta]

I will still point out how the oil supply will be moving to the Euro probably and not the dollar. I'm going with the European Union to have their act together better than most.

Though Asia is rocking to, just seperatly.

[Jasonik]

China IS a superpower (whose currency is pegged to the Dollar). There can be more than one. The European Union will NEVER become a superpower, all of their populations are in decline. India is a giant, but I don't think superpower, same with Japan.

Echewta, why do you think oil will be in Euros?

China Dumps Dollars for Oil and Gold.

[Funkaloyd]

I think there's a strong possibility of Russia making a comeback. But of the options listed, I'd say the EU.

[Bob]

of the options given, i'd say china i guess. i still stand by my previous post though

[Destroyer]

China and Russia are working relentlessly to ensure that their country becomes the next superpower.

Do you understand what the article you posted means?

Some experts estimate that China is purposely undervaluing the yuan by 15 to :eek: 40%.

[Abe Froman]

J,

I'm not a super economics hero but from what I've read, it seems to me that the Euro is more stable than the dollar and other countries seem to be leaning to making that switch. Could be wrong and I can't quote stuff that I've read, its just an assumption from what my mega brain has collected.

[marsdaddy]

EU is not one country. Too many regionalities and different agendas to become SUPERPOWER!. China, probably has the best chance.

Or maybe, it's the country with the smallest chance of being bombed during a nuclear strike, with the most resources? Madagascar?

[Auton]

Damn, and I thought this was going to about The Who's most rockin' album (n)

Nevertheless, the selling of dollars by commercial banks has been substantial. Participants of the special session sold over $900m at 3 p.m. Moscow time. Some $350m were sold from 1 p.m. till 3 p.m. Moscow time.
"The actions, it seems to me, are consistent with moves toward more sophisticated management of their financial institutions and macroeconomic objectives," Snow said.

China's central bank on Thursday raised the benchmark rate on one-year yuan loans to 5.58 percent from 5.31 percent and the rate on one-year deposits the same amount to 2.25 percent.
This coming from the Bush administration? Don't make me laugh. As if the are ever honest about anything. Besides that it doesn't make sense. You can't call a rise in interest rates a good thing for the dollar.
Maybe you forgot or don't know but this is the same thing that happened before 9/11. My business is finance Jasonik so if you want a go around by all means press on.

Bush administration officials saw China's surprise interest-rate rise on Thursday as progress in its campaign to press Beijing to alter its currency regime although Chinese officials and analysts said it was intended simply to cool a sizzling economy.
