U.S. Dollar Vs Treasury Yield, Gold, Crude Oil and Stocks

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleHere are 3-year charts comparing weekly performance of the US Dollar index to:

  • (A) to the yield on 3-month and 2-year US Treasuries,
  • (B) to the price of crude oil and gold bullion,
  • (C) to the price for the MSCI World ex US stocks index and the Russell 3000 US stocks index.

Relevant proxy securities are UUP or UDN (for Dollar up and Dollar down), SHV (for short-term Treasuries), SHY (for 1-3 year Treasuries), USO (for crude oil), GLD (for gold bullion), VEU (for world ex US stocks) and IWV or VTI (for US stocks).

(A) USD to Treasuries

(B) USD to Oil & Gold

(C) USD to US & World ex US Stocks

Crazy Sept-Oct

Here is a 6-month daily chart of the US Dollar index versus the yield on the 3-month and 2-year Treasuries.

In addition to plunging interest rates, the tremendous confusion in the credit markets is reflected in the yield at the short end with the 3-month Treasuries in September and October.

Dollar Bearish

This is a 1-year daily chart of UDN (the inverse of the US Dollar index — Dollar down).

The red horizontal lines show that the Dollar is about half way between its recent highs and lows, but with an apparent tendency to go down (UDN going up).

Once the UDN price goes past the half way point, the trend may become more convincing.  The flooding of Dollars in the many rescue programs makes further declines in the Dollar (and a rise in UDN) more likely than not.
