Freehold: "For example, VIX whilst rising closed well off day highs today so I'm expecting a pause or slight reversal Friday night in the US."
USD might help the bull case for the US indicies tomorrow.
Overnight, as if repelled by the 50 dma, the USD put in a bearish engulfing candle. This candle, as we know, means business. That's it for the dollar bulls for now. The dollar bear trend resumes and the gold bugs heave a sigh.
The S&P500 has been crudely inverse correlating lately and a weaker dollar might help deliver an UP day in the US tomorrow.
