FOREX
Friday brought a welcome sight for the under sieged dollar. With risk aversion and a significant euro sell off. The fundamental boost offered US Dollar Index a 0.5 percent jump to break its five-day, 155-pip decline.
However, from here we cannot discern temporary correction from genuine trend reversal. From the Dollar Index and the S&P 500. The move has retraced a fraction of the preceding week’s progress. Settingup probabilities on these standards alone would leave us with a rather low probability for seeing fresh, multi-month highs for the buck in the near future. On the other hand, we can find a spark in the EURUSD’s volatile position.Though the dollar has a significant climb before it is forging 22-month highs again, an influential break like a EURUSD collapse would represent a big step in delivering us there.
