« U.S. Dollar Rebounds a Bit in Early Trading | Main | Gold Trading Lower in Early Dealings »

U.S. Dollar Holding Solid Gains Early

Wednesday, November 28--Jim Wyckoff's Morning Web Log

OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING DEVELOPMENTS

The market features in overnight/early morning trading today are solidly lower gold oil prices and a strong rebound in the U.S. dollar.

* JIM'S MARKET THOUGHT OF THE DAY *

A strong performance by the U.S. dollar this week, as shown by the U.S. dollar index, would be an early clue that the greenback is finally bottoming out and ready to regain some strength versus the other major currencies. Today, the dollar index is showing the most strength its been able to muster in weeks. This week's trading action will be extra important for the dollar and for other markets like gold, which track the dollar closely.--Jim
