Well, to me the article is hiding one eminent message that Lagarde is communicating indirectly: she is clearly referring at the USD being under threat by the BRICs and their not even installed own trading mechanism or coin. She knows that the Euro is doomed the moment capital markets will be closing the yield gap between Germany and the US. Therefore they are constantly spreading USD Fud all around the world and the media. That's how I read this. The USD (FED) is winning.
