US$ struggling despite higher yields

The US$ remains weaker despite higher yields, strong economic data and upbeat earnings and I am not the only one noticing this phenomenon. Kathy Lien made comments today along the same wavelength. The S&P500 has made its first daily close above 4,700 and Gold looks ready to take on a multi-month bear trend line.

NB: there won’t be any update on Friday of this week.

 

Data: US PPI is a key item today.
