One reason cited is that the RBA is not strong enough to stand up to global capital markets and would eventually be forced to capitulate. I disagree. If you are printing your own money you can take on all-comers. The SNB demonstrated this by preventing depreciation of the euro against the Swiss Franc, pegging the rate at 1.20 CHF for the last year.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/2012\/2012-09-20-chf.png?w=525&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Euro\/Swiss Franc\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second argument was that &#8220;the market knows best&#8221; and any interference would cause more problems than it solves. My answer to that is that capital markets are subject to huge ebbs and flows, some determined by trade fluctuations but primarily caused by speculative flows and deliberate strategies by other central banks. If the RBA fails to act, local industry exposed to international competition may be irreparably damaged by loss of international markets and being under-cut in local markets by cheap imports. When the tide eventually turns, and the dollar weakens, it would be difficult to restore those industries if key capital equipment and skilled jobs have been lost.<\/p>\n<p>The US is a perfect example: China and Japan hold more than $2 trillion in US treasury investments which helped to suppress appreciation of their currencies against the greenback, maintaining a trade advantage which cost the US millions of manufacturing jobs. It will be difficult to restore those industries lost even if the imbalance is corrected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Euro is testing resistance at $1.32 and its descending trendline.
