US$ and stocks higher

The US$ index traded higher again on Thursday and stocks have recovered some of the previous day’s losses after the print of better than expected US GDP data. Gold and Commodity currencies moved lower on the US$ gains. The S&P500 looks to be printing an indecision ‘inside‘ candle for the day so traders will need to see how price action moves from here.
