The US dollar is making fresh lows for the week as the stock market sizzles.
The S&P 500 is up 1.1% and the Russell 2000 up 2.8% in a broad rally in risk assets after a jobs report that painted a benign picture of the economy. The market is now pricing in 98 bps in US rate cuts next year, up about a quarter-point from the start of the week.
The US dollar index is down 1.0% in its worst day since July.

That’s a notable chart as it falls through support. I’m not a big fan of the dollar index but there have been some USD breakdowns today, including against GBP and EUR.
The Australian dollar is also closing in on the September highs.
