Chart of the Day
Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Ian Culley (@IanCulley). The US Dollar kicked off the new year with its best day in nearly three months today, rising +1.15%. As you probably know, Dollar strength was one of the biggest headwinds for stocks and risk assets last year. After correcting almost 10% from its September peak, Ian points out that it’s finding support at the 2016/2020 highs around $103. Seasonality also points to a stronger Dollar in the near term, with January being the best month for $DXY on average over the past four decades. After a three-month correction, this would be a logical place for the Dollar to rebound.
