This incidence is because the value of a dollar as measured against the euro fell from 40% during that same period of time. Again in 2008 despite the financial crisis, some other investors continued to hedge a dollar decline caused by two new factors. One was the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program that launched in December 2008. The other was record level deficit spending that drove the debt to a GDP ratio above the critical 90% level.
