    At the moment the USD will stay the safe haven until after the shakeout. Following this crisis, be it sustained or not, we need to resolve the dynamic between:

    1. Currencies
    2. Shares
    3. Bonds
    4. Property
    5. Debt
    6. Metals

    I think debt is what will do people over. If you owe more than your resultant asetts then you may have nowhere to move. You can't sell your home tomorrow and put it into dollars or metals if you have a negative balance, so you stay put. Superannuation is also slow moving if you want to move to an SMSF.

    I think the rhetoric will come quick and plentiful, but the reality is most are stuck in a quagmire.

    The USD is losing ground real fast to the euro, yen and franc amongst others, it's not looking as safe-haveney as you'd think given the extreme events if the last week. I don't think we'll see DXY100 during this crisis.
