Euro is Sold Out


The fund managers who were short the dollar in the dollar carry trade are getting carried out on a stretcher at the moment.  I imagine great years just turned into good years.  I do think we see a bounce in the euro next week.  What that does for the equity markets is up in the air, but will likely be a positive.  Gold and crude look like they have bottomed.  If the euro starts to strengthen again, those markets will roar back.

I am out of my shorts. Mid day rally probably came from euro bottoming out along with gold. That may have been the selloff. There is very little interest in selling stocks here despite the crosscurrents in the currency markets.
