Just talk of the hurricane weakening was enough to push up the dollar.

The market is just waiting for the consumer price index. If the figures are strong, market players are likely to buy the yen tentatively.

The market is still expecting two more rate rises from the Federal Reserve, which will keep improving the dollar's rate advantage.

This isn't the first time we've heard about the possibility of an end to the policy in March ... but the risks of that happening have increased a bit.

Unless a big surprise comes out from the trade report, it may not cause much turbulence.

The market is dithering, because on the one hand we have the interest-rate gap, but on the other we have still large U.S. government debt.
