Currency comment 4/4

Steve CaldwellGeneral Commentary

A very quiet Tuesday as the dollar and foreign currencies closed with minor changes on very light trading volume. U.S. stock incises, after early weakness, closed marginally higher; bonds closed slightly lower.

With no interesting fundamental news, investors remained focused on the infighting in Washington.  The Congress is wrestling over the question of the new Supreme Court nominee. We are told the decision will be made Friday.

Friday will also have the major economic report of the month released. The employment report will be issued at 7:30 AM Central Time.
