Comparing DJIA vs. USD...

And how Gold affects markets
The past couple of week's have proven to be true with the USDx touching off a sensitive support price @82.05 basis point from a high @83.50 registered since the 1st to the 5th of April.

The uncertainty of the global economy weighed in the market place as the Chinese data have had some negative influence in the market with the Aussie Dollar paying a price declining to it present value @1.0330 from a low @1.0289 at the start of the trading week.

But the relative action of the Gold market has held the USD firm and would likely determine its next price action within the next two weeks of trading for April.
