Dollar Doldrums Leads To Commodity Streak

Jason Goepfert
2018-01-03

This is an abridged version of our Daily Report.

Dollar doldrums

The dollar has only been able to rise twice in nearly three weeks, tied for its worst streak since it entered its trading range in 2015.

Similar selloffs since then have led to quick rebounds, but longer-term history is mixed and not suggestive of a lasting mean-reversion rally.

One man’s trash…

The broader commodity market has a strong inverse correlation to the dollar, so its slump has coincided with big positive streaks in some contracts. The index underlying a popular commodity ETF has rallied for 10 straight days, its 3rd-longest in 30 years.

Jumping into tech

The Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% to a 52-week high on the first day of a new year 3 other times (2000, 2010, and 2011).

NEW FEATURE

Over the weekend, Eric released a site update that allows you to save tests from the Backtest Engine. Simply run any test, then click the Add To Favorites button and give it a name. It’s a nifty addition that will save a lot of time and scrambling to remember just what parameters you used before. You can always check the What’s New page to see what has been updated.

Market analysis involves uncertainty, and outcomes may differ from expectations. Users should conduct their own due diligence and consider their individual circumstances before making any financial decisions. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
