1pm update - USD continues to cool

Whilst equities are battling hard to stay a touch positive, there is notable weakness in the USD, -0.1% in the DXY 95.20s (intra low 94.84). Broader downside to the 92/90 zone looks probable by early July.. and that will certainly help the metals and Oil.

GLD, daily


Summary

USD lower for the second day.. with last Friday having likely marked a short term top. Given another few weeks, 92 looks a pretty easy target... the only issue is whether 90.. or even 89/88.. before the hyper ramp begins.. as a GREXIT looks probable.

*Oil is making a play for a daily close above the key $60 threshold.... next target is the 62 high.... after that... 65/67.. where there are multiple aspects of resistance. Sustained price action in the $70s looks extremely unlikely for the rest of this year.

-
As for equities, it remains a case of weak minor chop... with an inclination to increasing downside into the close.

notable weakness: TWTR, -1.4% in the $35s....  if Q2 earnings disappoint next month... the loss of $30 will occur.
