Dollar ETF (UUP) resumes its upward trajectory after the Fed meeting the other day. The wording was somewhat vague, but bottom line is they would like to start raising interest rates in 2015.

A while back Rickards said he doubts they'll be able to raise rates in the US due to global deflationary pressures. He said getting the dollar higher is an attempt to help the rest of the world reinflate themselves by making their currencies cheaper. He said the central banker's biggest fear right now is global deflation.

There's another explanation however, relating to the theory of a coming orchestrated currency crisis. In this scenario, the world's currencies go into a severe crisis simultaneously, leading to the adoption of the SDR as the world's reserve. The banking cartel would presumably want the US dollar relatively strong, at least in the beginning, so they could have the leverage needed to lead (force) the world into the SDR solution.
