The U.S. Dollar Index is trading higher this morning by 0.41 cents to $77.52. As the world has learned by now when the U.S. Dollar Index trades higher the stock market index will trade lower. The is exactly the what is taking place this morning ahead of the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. It is very important to note that the U.S. Dollar will often fade once the stock market officially opens for trading at 9:30 am EST. Should the U.S. Dollar Index pullback or even decline sharply the stock market will inflate and trade higher. Every trade is essentially a trade on the U.S. Dollar at this time.
