Prior chart:
The Dollar and index by default, if not quite design, have maintained recovery momentum, as the latter holds above 90.500 and Monday’s new y-t-d/multi-year low (90.419), albeit still unable to reach 91.000 and fading just below yesterday’s high, at 90.824 vs 90.907. Markets are somewhat caught and indecisive on the upbeat vaccine developments fostering optimism that the worst of the coronavirus and contagion may be over, but cautious about the fall-out from latest lockdowns and restrictions that are being tightened in some places due to new strains of COVID-19. Moreover, this week’s major risk events lie ahead and will vie with early positioning for month, quarter and year end, while stocks also have quad-witching to contend with. Bearish sentiment remains overall for the index.
