The U.S. dollar is soaring against the euro and the yen.

That is the situation even before the Fed starts raising rates and Eurozone quantitative easing begins.

Will the soaring dollar give the Fed pause and cause rate hikes to be delayed? Mohamed El-Erian doesn't think so.

El-Erian thinks only a complete global catastrophe will take the Fed off its current path.
