Thursday's Thoughts

September 15, 2011
The US dollar is slightly firmer as Thursday's European session gets under way.  The dollar peaked on Monday and has drifted lower this week.  Asia consolidated and Europe appears poised to take the dollar lower.   If the euro does rise above the $1.3780-$1.3800 area, the next corrective objective is near $1.39.   Sterling appears to have bott…

Turn Around Tuesday--Half Right

Table Being Set for Turn-Around Tuesday

September 12, 2011
Often it seems that when the currency markets are trending, Friday is a trend day in the sense that the dollar moves in the direction of the underlying trend.  Monday then often sees some follow through in that same direction but runs out of steam and Tuesday reverses the near-term trend.  This pattern seems to be playing itself out again now.
