The Australian dollar is a one way DXY patsy:
Gold is back:
Oil continued its grind:
Dirt whooshka!
Miners were strangely subdued:
EM stocks too:
Junk was OK:
US yields fell again:
As stocks hit record highs in the US but sank in EUR-crushed Europe:

This says to me that the Great Fakeflation is driving much of the AUD value via sentiment not fundamentals. But try telling the Lunatic RBA that.

As we head into what will almost certainly be a US election with volatility for the ages, a reversal of the tumbling DXY trade, even if only a violent correction, looks odds-on.
