There was always something suspicious about the preliminary figures. The trend is very clearly worsening.

The dollar's bearish (weaker) trend is expected to continue unless the GDP figures are significantly stronger (than exported) or the market finds strong signals for further rate hikes in the Fed statement.

Yesterday's reaction was exaggerated. The trend is on the rise. Advanced Micro figures confirm it.

It suggests the trend has changed, because each week's estimate is based on the trends. This is clearly an important change, when taken with other news, particularly monthly payroll statistics. It suggests more good news is on the way.

Clearly with any set of results it is possible to put a spin on, but the underlying figures don't lie. We sought to involve leaders in information technology to make the results as useful as possible.

If you position yourself properly, you will never need eyes in the back of your head.
