That won't help Fonterra's fifteen thousand or so cow cockies.
With apologies to the late John O'Brien:-

Will be interesting to see how the polls go after this lot Obama's latest round of foreign policy triumphs.
Judge ... threadjacked, comment deleted.
It's a good thing that F&M and S&P are the only two credit ratings that the big NY and Chicago banks listen to (given that they still organise all the lending to China).
In any event, its bad nes for everyone if the US currency takes a dive, not least of all small little countries like ourse, whose major banks (and indeed the RBNZ) have too much tied up in the US for a risk rating to go AWOL.
More selfishly, I could do with an interest rate increase over here. 0.25% on term deposit just doesn't cut it :p
