The US Dollar is trying to hold above the down-sloping trend line to end the week. This is the one year view.
Looking at the UUP to see Friday’s action, the dollar is pulling down hard, but still looks to close above the downtrend on the chart above.
One of the oddities right now is that the commodities like copper and crude continue to push higher despite the US Dollar moving higher.
Copper.
Crude Oil. Oil moved to 52-week highs this week.
As the economy continues to develop with vaccinations surpassing COVID19 infections this week, it continues to be a positive picture for the 2nd quarter to accelerate.
I continue to like the breakouts in the commodity related trades. I highlighted the oil names in the USA on the Market Buzz this week.
