USD has dropped past 2dys and the inverse to Crude Oil while not lock-step is prominent.
USD is in part coupled to global capital returns and how safe/strong investors believe capital returns are likely to be. When the US protects Democratic institutions globally and the rule of law, the USD falls as capital leaves ‘safe-haven’ USD denominated assets for markets elsewhere.
Oil prices have been inversely tied to the USD since 2003. The same inverse correlation appears to be in place today having been in/out of this correlation Nov 2016-most of 2017.
A falling USD is a strong economic positive globally. A win-win for all.
