The Markets:

 

Charts Courtesy of http://finance.yahoo.com/

 

Oil edged higher on worries about Iran.

 

The U.S. dollar index and treasuries fell as the euro rose on optimism about this week’s debt swap for Greece.

 

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P fell on worries about a lowered growth forecast from China.

 

“China pared the nation’s economic growth target to 7.5 percent from an 8 percent goal in place since 2005, a signal that leaders are determined to cut reliance on exports and capital spending in favor of consumption.

 

Officials will also aim for inflation of about 4 percent this year, unchanged from the 2011 goal, according to a state- of-the-nation speech that Premier Wen Jiabao delivered to about 3,000 lawmakers at the annual meeting of the National People’s Congress in Beijing today.”

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were GM, BP, Citigroup, Apple, AIG, and Cigna.

 

The Commentary:

 

The chart I am presenting is due to a special request from a reader that I put one together. It is an interesting method of seeing in visual form the steady decline in the value of the US Dollar against Gold.

A careful inspection of the chart will reveal that there are certain periods during which the price of gold has moved higher while at the same time the US Dollar index was moving higher. It is during those intervals when the gold price has risen strongly when priced in terms of the various major world currencies that comprise the USDX.

 

The following chart is a picture of America's decline. As much as it deeply saddens me to say it, the US Dollar chart looks abysmal.- Dan Norcini, More at http://www.traderdannorcini.blogspot.com/
