December Update – Technically, the US Dollar has been riding an uptrend since late September. Mid-November, the Dollar Index made a peak and has since been trading in a narrowing range. We have some huge cycles coming for the US from about 12/10 – 12/12, which is a major factor for the US Dollar. Watch for a major change in trend at that time.
