The buck has taken on a softer tone into the close with equities taking a late-day pounding. The S&P is down 1.6% late, looking like it will close down about the same percentage as the DAX, which was knocked down 4.5% at one session this morning.
EUR/USD looks like it will survive an intraday dive to 1.4327 and close above the 100-day average at 1.4367.
USD/CHF is down to 0.7930 after stalling earlier in the day at the pivotal 0.7991/0.8010 area.
