Briguy made a remark in my post below (on USD long term): ‘As the Bric++ currencies gain strength’.

So I thought I checked if such is truly the case as such in general is a buzz on the web. Below is a chart to compare the currencies of some BRIC nations (10 year chart). In this chart ONLY: China Yuan, India Rupe, and Brazil real. Stockcharts does not allow/have Russian Ruble (as ticker) which in itself is pretty WOKE of Stockcharts but that aside. I have not looked into other BRIC currencies but these are the main ones anyway.

The overall conclusion is that currencies from BRIC countries actually DO NOT GAIN STRENGTH (against USD) but the opposite. So far! Both ‘Rupe’ and ‘Real’ actually have a steady upward line which states that more of the Yuan/Real is being exchanged for 1 USD which translates into weakness (of Rupe and Real against the USD). Yuan seems very volatile, but those fluctuations percentage-wise do not move that much compared to others, so Yuan is in a volatile Baseline. As for the ‘Ruble’ has had large fluctuations recently but aside from the spike up/down more or less stays the same (LT flat line). Such makes both Yuan and Ruble remain equal strength compared to USD on an LT basis.

So it seems that BRIC+ currencies gaining strength is a myth. So far! As for ‘++ nations’ like Turkey LIRA, well everyone knows that currencies is even worse. Tent … am I missing anything?

IMO: BRIC nations who lend against USD will be crushed first before rising as a FENIX.

IMO. DYODD.
