The greenback strengthened against most majors over the past week. The euro traded near 0.88183 per dollar, and the yen hovered around 161.68. A stronger dollar tends to pressure commodities and the earnings of large exporters; a weaker one does the reverse.

The Pulse

Pulling it together, the cross-asset signal reads mildly risk-off. Crypto weighed on sentiment with a -0.35% move. Remember that one day rarely changes a thesis — process beats prediction.
