Talking Points:
• Beyond being the most liquid currency for the largest economy, the Dollar is a redefined symbol of risk appetite
• Though retaining its liquidity haven status, the Greenback is now an at-risk reflection of more moderate aversion
• Last week's volatility, the return of Chinese influences and the unforeseen will be traders' burden this week

Chief Strategist John Kicklighter discusses the top Forex fundamental themes for the coming week of trading. The US Dollar starts off the new trading week with a noteworthy technical 'save', but the fundamental pressure is far from alleviated. There is still tremendous speculation over the bearings of 'risk trends' and the influence that monetary policy has over that sentiment. Add to that the recent resurgence of volatility across assets, and the currency's central position on the global financial picture becomes even more pronounced. We discuss the swell in risk trends, the groping for 'solutions' and top event risk with a common thread of the US currency in this week's webinar.
