Powell's comments giving the USD a little nudge higher

The US dollar has had a strong session right through Europe/UK and US time

A little more of the same continuing on now.

If a catalyst was needed for the next few tics up it would seem Powell is da man:

• Fed's Powell: Inflation at goal, economy positive, unemployment lowest in 20 yrs

Here is some more to add to those earlier remarks:

• Not really seeing any impact yet from trade disputes
• We do not detect financial instability as elevated now

And … that's all folks - Powell concludes his remarks
