Forget the Dow- Nasdaq divergence. I want the US dollar- SPX divergence explained. The SPX, and normally all the major US markets tend to rise and fall with the dollar.

Since the first of the year- they have diverged- The dollar has continued up while the SPX, DJI, etc. have faltered.

Is this a flight to cash (safety), or is it signalling something else? I find it quite odd that the dollar looks to be breaking UP while the market looks to be breaking down.

Who wants to tackle this one? -g-

Edit- there is a precedent in the summer of 98 market correction for this. Although the $ did not rise much, it did initially rise during the first 1.5 months of the market decline, before tanking with the market in september. It is up to 2 months now this time around.
