Hi Bob,

re yields....."If you watch the yields on treasuries (of all lengths), they have crumbled and declined."

yes, but concurrently the actual bonds have had a nice rally in the last week.
I watch the 10 year, first week of December, it was 119.25 ish.

By Dec. 19th it was 121.50 ish. A big move for bond traders.
Not surprising with the recent selloff, flight to safety, and likely
a substantial short interest.

No idea if dollar has topped, March DX is over 96.
lots of built in demand for the dollar as sellers divest risk assets,
and it all settles in USD.

Not sure the strong dollar will help manufacturing,
it wont help US exporting goods.

cheers Bob
