Or maybe it's just Easter & the end of the financial year.

The Euro has done some funny things lately. It broke the 1.3440 mark with little follow through. I've also seen it shift with no reaction from the USD/CHF at least a couple of times over the last month or so. I think you have to wonder if something bigger is afoot.

EURUSD breaks above 13550 for the day. we need a weekly close above 13550 for us to capture 13600. Still see 13200 and 12800. Fundamentals have not changed.

Guys Ashraf's fundamental views are based on the difference between US & German bond yields which are at a 3 year high meaning more pain for the Euro. Of course short-term (i.e. next couple of days) anything can happen and Euro could go a bit higher but over the course of the next couple of months I'm trading on the fact that Euro will be much lower based on Ashraf's analysis. Today was month end and a lot of hedge funds were closing positions hence accelerating a decline in the $.

@sydneyjames - I understand from Ashraf's recent TV interview and other articles that the inverse correlation between USDX and Equities is broken, ie, both can go up simultaneously. We can see this anyways in recent while, ie, DJI/SPX AND USDX making new highs post recession with EURUSD making new lows. I am also noting Ashraf's view on US equity market not falling until post summer (northern hemisphere), while, USDX upside seems more immediate. The JPY vs US Equities correlation seems much intact.

there are something i dont get, if the traders are still doing carry trade at the moment, today the DOW JONES and S&P 500 dropped a lot, the USD index dropped as well? Shouldn't they be inversely proportional?
