This is going to be disaster they're not injecting money(i.e. Euros or Yen into the system) they're injecting dollars.
Massive Dollar Injection
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')RANKFURT, Germany -Europe's major central banks banded together with their counterparts in Japan, the U.S. and Canada on Thursday to inject more U.S. dollars into global money markets in a bid to stave off the growing global financial crisis.
Its like putting out a fire with gasoline. I think the system is suffering from too many and not too few dollars. This is sort of like Central Bankers Gone Wild instead of Girls Gone Wild.
Although I am not a FOREX expert but I think the massive injection of dollars into the system will accelerate movement out of dollars, and therefore dollar denominated assets.
The dollar is getting its butt kicked on the
CME .
A liquidity injection would have been better in my opinion and probably would have done something to shore up the dollar and maybe even the financial markets. Although this would have really been a stopgap measure at best.
If we see the Euro hit 1.46 by the end of the trading day NY time I think its the end for the dollar.
