    Just some thoughts:

    Its a RACE to Zero with many Central Bank Rates!

    The Russians devalued their RUBBLE quite strongly.

    The Japanese did the same with the YEN.

    The WON went in the crapper.

    The Chinese won't float the Rembini.

    Every third world country, and some industrials, want their exports SOLD. Best way to do that is devalue your currency.

  3. Cross currency conversion originated from USD/JPY.
