Gold is down to $1033, oil to $78.15 and the S&P is at 1063, helping lift the greenback across the board in the wake of surprisingly soft US consumer confidence data. With oil prices higher and the holiday season approaching, traders fear weak US consumer spending ahead, keeping US growth low. That sends ripple effects across the global economy and undermines the likes of AUD and CAD, to boot.
USD/CAD is up to 1.07. AUD/USD is at 0.9150. EUR/USD has broken 1.4827 support and lies at 1.4805.
