The US DOLLAR INDEX turned up today for a surprise, rallying toward the point it fell off, 78.33. It closed at 78.037, up 45.7 basis points. Tomorrow will probably reach the rest of the way toward 78.33. I have not yet made up my mind whether the outcome here will be a surprise dollar rally or continuing dollar weakness. However, I suspect the time for that dollar rally (if it comes) is not yet. Therefore I expect the dollar to move a bit higher tomorrow, and to fall next week.
STOCKS are correcting, but are such a strong updraft that they grudgingly give up only a few points a day. Still rallying.
The Gold Price gave up 3.50 today to stop at 960.70 on Comex. The Silver Price dropped 11-1/2 cents to close at 14.638.
I expected to see lower silver and gold prices today, and was not disappointed. So far, this little correction does no damage at all to the on-going rally. Silver and gold prices will move higher still.
