Commentary:

The U.S. dollar was mainly lower today against the other majors but it did manage to gain substantial ground on the Swiss franc and modest ground on the Japanese yen.

The Japanese yen was also very weak today, however it too manage to gain on the Swiss franc which was apparently today’s biggest FX session loser.

The Euro was also quite weak today, losing badly to the British pound and just barely holding its ground against the other majors except for a decent gain on the yen.

The Dow gained 102.32 points today, or 0.99 percent, the S&P 500 added on 8.99 points, or 0.82 percent, and the Nasdaq tacked on 23.58 points, or 1.05 percent.
