"Since our last meeting, there have been at times sharp fluctuations in major currencies, and we are concerned about their possible implications for economic and financial stability," says the statement from this weekend's G7 meeting. It was the first time since the Prague meeting of 2000 that the G7 have united to voice explicit concern about moves in major currencies. Does this signal the bottom for the U.S. dollar? Probably not.

Recent economic data shows that German industrial production, exports and retail sales unexpectedly declined toward the end of 2007, suggesting that growth in Europe's powerhouse economy is slowing. Exports are clearly suffering from the stronger euro, but very few analysts predict a German recession. German exports are unlikely to fall off a cliff, as Asian demand for the country's exports is still healthy. Also, it's important to note that less than 9% of Germany's exports go to the United States, so its direct exposure to an American slowdown is modest. Germany had no property bubble, and German businesses and its consumers have been prudent about debt.

It is human nature to look towards religion or a higher power to help us overcome circumstances that are beyond our control. History is rich with examples where gods have been created to try to understand the mysteries of nature. As long as we believe that there is a higher power watching over us, providing us with direction and answers, we feel empowered to overcome the irrational forces of nature. It is only appropriate to compare the last two weeks of market volatility to an irrational force of nature, and markets are now looking towards a higher power - the Fed - for guidance.
