Up until early afternoon Monday, the stock market was performing very well, recovering much of the nearly 1.00% loss recorded during Friday’s trading session. However, as the dollar began rebounding, it sent commodity prices (oil, natural gas, energy, ag) lower and the overall market followed, ending near the lows on the day. Evidently, and not surprisingly, the stock market likes a weak dollar as it makes exports to other countries whose economies might be performing better than ours, more attractive, on a price basis. That said, we don’t believe that this is the end of the cyclical rally in the stock market, but as we have been saying for quite some time, perhaps a pause to refresh, a consolidation. Watch your portfolios. See what gets hit the most. Put some of your cash to work should this consolidation continue.
