The value of the US dollar keeps going up while every other currency is going down. Off shore dollar reserves have been increasing as a safe haven.


This is a classic example of bad money expelling good money. The bad currency (dollar) is driving out all other currencies because it is easy to get and use. Its value keeps going up because there is demand, not because it has any value. As long as the dollar is the only/major currency used around the world, its value will continue to hold against other currencies.
