Wall Street gave wings to the dollar and the greenback gained against all rival currencies, starting with the yen, which has once again surpassed 115. The euro is just above 1,24 and the yuan is at 6,12. The drop in gold was also strong at 1147 $/ounce, against 1170 24 hours ago.
Stock markets in Asia rose for the third consecutive day, and the MSCI Asia Pacific regional index, early afternoon Japanese, is gaining 0,3%. The fall of the yen pushed the Nikkei to +2% (the Topix, with a larger capitalisation, marks +1,2%). The correlation between the stock market and money in Japan remains close. In Shanghai, the market remains at yesterday's high levels (the highest in three years), following the announcement of the forthcoming connection with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Crude oil (WTI) weakens, at 77,1 $/b; the strengthening of prospects in America does not affect him, because the United States is on its way to self-sufficiency, thanks to the boom in shale oil and gas.
Wall Street and London futures signal further progress.
