Dollar Index Advances For Second Day

The major futures
markets were relatively calm
as the lack of any economic data led to
a drop in volatility in everything but stock index futures.

Treasuries closed fractionally higher, with no really drivers behind today’s
action.

The US Dollar Index posted a solid gain, as the Dollar rose against all the
majors.

Energy prices closed near unchanged. July Crude Oil futures ended the session at
$72.50.

All the softs declined, with Coffee -2.39% and Sugar -1.95% leading the way.

The grains were also weak, Wheat -3.39% and Corn -2.08% led the decline.
