Plenty of volatility with wait for US Election result

There has been a lot of US Election-related volatility but the US$ index has failed to break above the daily Cloud. Stocks have marched higher but Gold and most of the Forex pairs I monitor are little changed in net position from my previous update. There are rates updates today from the BoE and FOMC so keep an eye on FOMC  for any impact on the US$ index.

 

Data: watch today with updates from the US Presidential Election as well as news from AUD Trade Balance data and the BoE and FOMC rate updates.
