How did the USD do during stagflation?
Anyone know or see an easy chart of how the USD did in the 1966-1982 period? I suspect the trend was down, but I don't really know.

Not charted, but you can get the data.

I know that in 1983 it was sky-high against the Spanish peseta and stayed there for a couple years, and by 1984 it had started falling against the British pound but was still sky-high against the Portuguese escudo.* Europe sure was fun then...

Cool site! Beats me where the US$ will settle. Probably a bit weak in the near term and ?? in the long term

Re: How did the USD do during stagflation?
"In the long term, we are all dead." John Maynard Keynes
When you consider other currencies of interest (euro, peso--numerous and many), who cares?
When I dispair at my own country's policies, I look at the international news--and I feel a whole lot better.
Besides, I am 50% in non-US equities. The benefits of diversification (one hopes).

Hi Ed,
Yeah, none of us will escape the grim reaper.
I might care a bit if -long term- the US$ tanks.
I'm not sure, but stuff at Wal Mart might cost more. Does that contribute to that inflation thingy?!? 8)

this reminds me of an old saw: there is only only thing more difficult (dangerous) to predict than interest rates ...* foreign exchange rates.

Ed,
So the dollar can tank and the prices of chinese goods (in dollar terms) will not increase?
They will only increase as a result of increased producer prices in China?
Interesting 8)
