Disturbing: U.S. Dollar as the Safe Haven
June 18, 2009
Interesting. There is a change occurring withing the currency markets of late. What was sold off during the March-May mega rally is now being bought. Japan’s Yen, England’s Pound and the U.S. Dollar are once again gaining favor.
Notice the first of three charts that we posted below show the initial two months of the year when equity markets were in upheaval and then end of the financial markets seemed imminent. The performance of the U.S. dollar as compared to major currencies was uniform and absolute. There is really nothing more to say than there was a definite flight to safety toward the few countries that were seen as being able to weather the storm.

NYSE Volume Reversal Day
June 3, 2009
It is important to track sentiment indicators and volume (up/down) is one that can provide us with clues as to what investors are thinking. I like this particular chart that we watch regularly to help discern the daily preferences and the extent of buying and selling pressure.
Notice that on the down days we see a much greater (and somewhat wider) red indication. Throughout this recent market cycle, that has been a regular occurrence. It appears that investors are much more likely to sell with real conviction on the day with a downward bias. Read more
