Dollar Charges Higher - Will EUR/USD Break 1.3000,
AUD/USD 1.0000?
The dollar surged ahead this past week. A tip for
EURUSD below 1.3000 and USDJPY’s drive above 100
were but a few of the highlights, but what was the
source of this strength. We may find a serious upgrade
in fundamental support for the greenback in the week
ahead. In the meantime, the foundation for the move is
vague. From a traditional data and event risk angle,
the backdrop changed little this past week. The docket
was bare for any high-level indicator and there weren’t
any major policy meetings to stake speculation on.
Nevertheless, the Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index
(ticker = US Dollar) surged above the midpoint to the
past nine-year’s trading range on the back of its
biggest weekly advance since November 2011. There
was no doubt an element of self-generated speculative
momentum to the move. With USDJPY, EURUSD and
AUDUSD moving beyond key technical levels, rounds
of stops and entry orders no doubt provided a wave of
momentum. Yet, despite its unique strength, a rally for
rally’s-sake from this safe haven is unlikely to cut it.
Bulls need a platform to work from.
