The USD is not seeing any kind of intraday retrace, holding sig' gains of 1.2% in the DXY 97.20s. The precious metals are (naturally) under strong downward pressure, Gold -$18, having lost the psy' level of $1200, Silver -2.0%. Oil is similarly weak, -3.4%
USO, daily
GLD, daily
Summary
*USO looks vulnerable to at least another 3% lower, with mainstream chatter of Oil falling to $55 or so.. which does look probable.
