Euro dollar is based on a combination of gold and the good will of the EU. In 2006 it was $3.50 US to 1 Euro, in 2007 it was $2.50 to 1 Euro, and now $1.28 to 1 Euro even under the rise of gold prices. The fact is that in 2006 and 2007 the Euro lost 30% of its trade being power and 20% of it domestic buying power. In 2008 it lost 60% of its trade being power and 40% of it domestic buying power. This is a sign of a long term decline in Euro economics that has lead Italy to threaten pulling out of the EU.

China has already indicated it will combat its decline in exports by selling its stock piles of commodities and if this happens it may lead the EU in to hyper inflation like seen in Africa.

I’ve tried a lot of websites and books but none of them break it down fully for someone just getting familiar with this. I basically understand the idea of hedging, but I get a bit lost when people talk about spreads and basis and most of all, I don’t understand the link between physical commodities and all these bits of paper that are apparently traded on futures exchanges.
