>Prices will go up because the value of the dollar goes up

sorry to nitpick but inflation is the value of the dollar going _down_. if the value of a dollar were to increase, the price of a thing denominated in dollars (i.e. stocks) would decrease (you can buy more with fewer now-more-valuable dollars), ceteris paribus.

Thank you for the correction. The logic applies the same, but I did invert the effects.
