    IMO this has a double effect on the USD because both
    China & Aus have to hold less USD to trade.

    Up to now the Greenback global reserve status has meant that
    trading countries all over the world including China have had to
    hold substantial hoards of USD to balance trade. This offshoring
    of USD meant that printing at home had a negligible effect on
    a domestic oversupply and as such retained value, IMO.

    The converse is, IMO, that the less USD is needed overseas to
    settle trade the less latitude the Fed will have in printing Greenbacks.

    Perhaps its beneficial to our AUD because China will have to hold more
    AUD enabling the RBA to print an extra few billion. At present it is printing
    $5 Billiona month reducing to $4 billion in October.

    Neither the Murdoch Press or the AFR have mentioned what the currency
    implications are for Aus with an increasing amount of our trade transactions
    dodging the Greenback but of course they'd be over it like a rash if it
    had an anti-China slant!.
