Renewed turmoil at the beginning of the week, this time in the world equity markets due to genuine sorrows about the global economy, did not hurt the USD’s bullish stance in early European trading. It is just consolidating its levels, with a downward correction move to come in right now.

We expect this correction / consolidation stance to continue in today’s market, with the trading ranges explained below. No data known as market movers will be released today.
