Dollar And Yen Hit 20-Day Highs
Both contracts are on the Momentum-5 List and are rallying against the Swiss franc and British pound (francs are on the Implosion-5 List).
T-bonds rallied on a weaker-than-expected durable goods report and are up one-half point.
Also from the Momentum-5 List, heating oil and natural gas are rallying.
On the downside, coffee is lower and pork contracts are off sharply.
