Where the US $ MAY be going...

Much guess work. The dollar will remain weak as long as the US has low interest rates.
Interest rates won't change until next year...

"Most economists think the Fed is keeping a close eye on any signs of stabilization in the labor, banking and housing sectors. When those become more obvious, the Fed will need to aggressively raise rates and end those emergency lending initiatives.

But a majority of forecasts don't show stabilization until the end of the year or beginning of 2010. Until then, the Fed is likely to keep rates unchanged so it doesn't disrupt what appear to be the underpinnings of an economic rebound." CNN Money Report Sept 21

JP Morgan Chase had predicted 1.50 by the end of the year. We appear headed that way sooner.

California Olive Crops Down, Spain Quantity Up

California's 2009 olive crop forecast is 50.0 thousand tons, down 25% from last year. The bearing acres are estimated to be 29.0 thousand acres, resulting in a yield of 1.72 tons per acre. For the second year in a row the California olive crop is turning out light. The 2009 crop which was looking promising in early spring has turned disappointing. There was a heavy bloom and set reported in spring, but conditions deteriorated as the growing season progressed. Small olives were reported with some falling off trees. The change in the outlook has been attributed to spring freezes, extreme temperatures and water stress to trees. These factors seem to have had the most severe impact in San Joaquin Valley and a lesser impact in the Sacramento Valley. The decline of the 2009 crop has led some growers to evaluate whether harvesting this year's crop will be economically feasible.
