  11. Scenario: Future of USD • Good • benign decline • Neutral/Bad • end of QE strengthens USD • Ugly • reserve currency no more As the economy strengthens, the dollar might fall as it did in the 2002-2007 period. Rising rates may drive investors to hold more USD securities, raising the dollar’s value and forcing commodities down. If US fiscal issues or other concerns cause foreign holders to dump USD, an inflation shock could derail the markets.
