Market Commentary

After the Dollar Index (DX) appreciated from 81.80, it is trading at 83.06 with 83.50 acting as intermediate resistance. A daily close above 83.50 ranges would open room for the Dollar Index to appreciate further to 84.16 and 84.80 ranges next. The benchmark equity index of the Dow Jones Industrials Average (DJIA) is trading flat at 15100. It seems the correlation between DJIA Vs DX is getting less significant, wherein historic inverse correlation is not observed since last couple of weeks.

The benchmark equity index of the Dow Jones Industrials Average (DJIA) continued appreciating to new highs, and is trading at 15100 ranges; the major trend is still intact until the DJIA manages to trade above 14860 ranges.

The historic DX Vs DJIA correlation suggests the long-term trend is still Dollar bearish, but only while the Dollar Index doesn't close above 84.40 on a monthly basis. The medium term trend is range bound between 81.80 and 83.40 with stronger bias.
