Question

The dollar is on a rise due to what?

Answer 1

Current dollar demand is coming from short-term currency speculators, central banks, and leveraged carry traders, and will likely reverse as soon as the trends change or rate differentials narrow.

Answer 2

poor economics

Answer 3

Overall the "short term" rise in the dollar is most likely due to the slight lowering in gas prices, as well as the temporary relief that the mortgage bailout bills that were passed is providing.  Over the long haul this will create more inflation,  however for now your money will be worth a little more.

However the answer above me is quite correct as well,  foreign investments and outside sources have fed into this rise as well.

Answer 4

It's value reduced because of huge usage

Answer 5

foreign investments
