The US indices closed the week in a record territory again, supported by the note from President Trump that there will be changes in the Tax code and the testimony of Janet Yellen in front of the Senate Financial Committee. She said that the economy is going in the right direction and their goal in regards of the employment in the country is just about reached and now are focused on inflation and that soon might have to raise the rates.
The USD did find support and went up but it fell initially during the speech from the President of the Central Bank, and that is not a good sign for the currency, falling on a good news. Maybe the USD will remain strong against some currencies but weak against others. We continue to be long USD/JPY.
