The last three days trading is all about the benjamins – the dollar, that is.  The better than expected Friday November Jobs Report has triggered a powerful rally in the dollar.  That’s because it has led investors to believe that the US economy is recovering giving the Fed cover to remove monetary stimulus and potentially raise rates.  The rising dollar has hit stocks and other so called risk assets as these have benefitted greatly from all the liquidity flowing into financial markets via the Fed’s easy money policy.
