The US$ has bounced back a bit in the last session but this is probably more due to the dovish ECB comments undermining the EUR advance than any re-newed vote of US$ confidence. Some better than expected US CPI and weekly employment data would have helped too but there has been plenty of soft US data this week to dampen this impact. Stocks have traded higher but more due to thoughts of continued ZIRP.
