Uninspired Moves in a Meandering Market

Last week I touched on the potential end to the sideways US dollar correction. Then all of a sudden some unidentified reckless group came in to buy stocks and keep them from finishing at lows not seen since 2003. As I also mentioned, that effort gave traders enough reason to flood money into the euro and stop the buck’s breakout effort dead in its tracks.

But common to the market of the last couple weeks, no one’s really wanted to follow through on any of the bigger moves mixed in to relatively morose markets. The euro faded after its big day last Thursday – perhaps because there wasn’t much substance behind the move.
