Video: The Dollar Posts a Sharp Reversal, Risk Trends Waver

Video: The Dollar Posts a Sharp Reversal, Risk Trends Waver

Talking Points:

• The Dollar reversed nearly all of the ground lost following its biggest drop in 18 months post-FOMC

• Another heavy (8-yard) EURUSD volume day reinforces the USD trend, but is there enough breathing room?

• Risk trends meanwhile stalled quickly, but a committed deleverage has yet to take

It is important to separate correction from trend. The Dollar looked to make that distinction over the past 36 hours. Corrections are by definition shorter-lived - though they are often volatile and feed upon persistant speculative appetite for reversals (picking tops and bottoms). The post-FOMC USD tumble surprised the medium-term position the currency has shaped and the increased tangibility of the 'mid-2015' rate hike time frame; but it fit for a market that had priced in more than a modest tightening cycle would justify. The speculative unwind happened faster than expected though with back-to-back 8-yard (billion) volume days for EURUSD. Was this correction sufficient to recharge the Dollar for its next thrust higher? Will Greece become a fundamental threat again for the Euro? Are risk trends close to stalling? We discuss these considerations in today's Trading Video.
