US Dollar: Turn Down For What?
The US Dollar has been the only "safe haven" in a world full of risk assets.
We know it's NOT the US Treasury Bond Market.
In fact, the bond market has likely been a major cause of most of the volatility we've seen over the past few of years.
Treasury Bonds have been the opposite of safe haven.
So what is the Dollar trying to tell us?
Has it been heading higher all year as a warning of what's about to come for risk assets?
Or are we now just so far along in this bull market, and correlations have come off so much, that they're less reliable than they were earlier in the cycle?
Hence the current question. To quote the great Atlanta-born poet Lil Jon, and his French associate DJ Snake, "Turn down for what?"
That's the big question I've been asking myself as I continue to see that strength coming from the US Dollar.
What do you think the Dollar is trying to tell us?
Is it something to ignore? Or something to be aware about?
How important is this from a scale of 1 to 10?
Let us know what you think. We love to hear from you!
Either way, there is a strategy for every type of market environment.
If we're bullish in a low volatility environment, there's an ideal strategy for that. And even if we're bearish in a low volatility environment, there's a way to approach that as well.
However, if volatility starts to pick up and we're bullish a stock in a high volatility regime, we have a plan for that. And if we're bearish and volatility is high, we know what we want to do then as well.
