Conclusion
The dominant market structure remains:
Dollar Strength + Equity Strength + Commodity Weakness
This is a relatively unusual combination, as strong equity performance often coincides with broader commodity support.
The most striking features of the current environment are:
- The sharp breakdown in Gold and Silver
- The continued collapse of NZD-related pairs
- The Nikkei 225’s powerful breakout above 71,000
For now, trend-following strategies continue to favor long-dollar positions and short exposure to precious metals and weaker commodity-linked currencies.
