Considering shorting the dollar, lots of people are long USD but I think they'll get burned in the medium-long run. It looks increasingly likely that the December rate "hike" by the Fed was a one and done event - I'd be very surprised if they increased rates again this year, they saw what happened shortly after they did so the last time and it has become very apparent that their only goal is to keep the equity markets high (they couldn't care less about the fundamentals of the economy).
USD index increased today however I'm not so sure that it will be part of any sustained move upwards, it's still below 93 and I can see it dropping fast to around the 86 level over the next couple of months. The markets are slowly beginning to realise that rates probably won't go up this year at all now, and that will be priced into the dollar I reckon...
