Dollar Falls, Stocks Rally, As Usual

U.S. Stocks opened strongly to the upside this morning, and held up all day, as the Dollar declined in Forex trading. Someone keeps on forgetting to turn off this broken record!

Another "as usual" though; volume was light. In fact, considering the size of the price move, volume was downright abysmal. Less money is going into these up days, and that can't be good. Volume will continue to lighten up the rest of this holiday week, and that can lead to increased volatility. As usual, pay attention to the Dollar.

The day proved to not be easy for daytraders, except very short term scalpers. Most of the big moves in individual stocks occurred in the first 30 minutes. After that, many stocks that traded nicely to the upside in the first half hour simply flattened out the rest of the day.
