FOUND: Dollar moves higher on weak stocks and us economic strength - You Need To See This

The dollar index (DXY00) today is up by +0.26% at a 7-week high.  The dollar today is strengthening as weakness in stocks has boosted liquidity demand for the dollar.  Also, weaker-than-expected Eurozone PMI reports today undercut the euro, and the yen fell on weaker-than-expected Japanese CPI news. The dollar extended its gains on today’s better-than-expected US June S&P PMI reports.

The US June S&P manufacturing PMI unexpectedly rose +0.4 to 51.7, stronger than expectations of a decline to 51.0.  Also, the June S&P services PMI unexpectedly rose +0.3 to a 2-year high of 55.1, stronger than expectations of a decline to 54.0.
