The Dollar Index after finding support at 79.00 ranges is currently trade firm at 79.73; next leg of weakness in the USD is expected only on the DX closing below 79.00 on daily basis.

The benchmark equity index (DJIA) weak at 13093 with 13300-13400 ranges acting as the short-term resistance. Only a daily close below 12400 would put major trend in jeopardy else as the index consistently trades beyond 13300-13400, major rally reinitiates.
