BRIC

I think that the BRIC will probably maximize non-dollar denominated trades, but because the dollar is still the current international currency that they will keep plenty on hand for all their raw material buying in places where the rimimbi, rupi and ruble isn't readily available.

They might want to weaken the dollar in order to destabilize the US, which in the short run would benefit them but in the long term might come back to haunt them if they need the US market to sell their surplus.

How the U.S.Dollar could gain strength

If all BRIC Nations really want to survive and grow in strength; and prosperity in THIS AGE; they need to set a minimum wage, that is no lower than the minimum wage in the USA,in all manufacturing industries that supply goods to the US of America, thereby leveling the playing field; by doing so the employment situation will be cured in the US OF A, and the PROSPERITY OF THE NATION THAT COULD MAINTAIN WORLD PEACE AND ORDER BE PRESERVED.

US Dollar Risk

BRICs are rightfully concerned about the US Dollar risk of their reserves. US politicians and consumers have been bankrupting the country and themselves for the last 50 years. A new reserve currency is needed to preserve the reserves and savings of hard working people globally. IMF SDRs would be a nice alternative to gold. Otherwise, we will all start hoarding hard assets.
