Euro Pacific Capital CEO Peter Schiff in his daily video blog discusses the global market rally, the end of the recession, and the real economy.
The Dollar made a new low today for the move. It closed with a 78 handle. This is the lowest its been since September of last year. It’s the lowest, certainly, of this calendar year.
