No central bank or government is defending the purchasing power of fiat currencies; the Trump administration is comfortable with neither a very weak nor a very strong dollar; the ECB is happy with euro weakness to offset tariff impacts on exporters; Japan must continue depreciating the yen to maintain the 'monetary illusion' of its fiscal/debt nightmare situation.
