Today's viewpoint Comment as the global economy and financial markets recover, investors are re-examining the dollar's position in the global financial system. Observers believe the dollar's "unconventional strength" over the past year is being tested as the world's economic panic fades, international commodity prices rise and investors ' expectations of inflation rise.
