The American dollar kept falling Friday, notching fresh multi-month lows against the loonie, euro and pound over concerns that the massive U.S. deficit may drag down the country's credit rating. BMO Capital Markets deputy chief economist Doug Porter said the sudden intense focus on the U.S. credit rating - following a warning that Britain's rating is in doubt because of its government's heavy debt - has driven the greenback to its low for the year "As well, the dollar is also rapidly losing its safe-haven appeal, as global credit markets continue to gradually heal, and investors become ever more confident that the worst case scenario for the global economy has been averted," Porter wrote in a note to clients.

Of oil in ten years or so. I guess that part of the reason the world put so much stock in Britain and the USA is that when we went to war against Iraq, it was assumed that we would be in the oil game in a big way for along time.

However now Germany has a surplus economy - enough that they could pay down all of Britain or france's indebtedness were they to decide to do so.
