USD mixed with little to determine trading trends

     USD mixed with little to determine trading trends

    GBP weakens on dovish Bank of England inflation report
    Commodity currencies generally stronger, led by NZD as manufacturing PMI rises
    AUD dips after RBA Deputy Gov. threatens intervention

     USD well underpinned both fundamentally and technically

    Fundamentals:  monetary policy divergence continues vs JPY, GBP and EUR
    Technicals:  DXY index recently broke  above the 30-year trend line, signaling perhaps the beginning of a long-term uptrend
    Only positioning is worrisome, as speculators have record net long USD positions

     Today:
    Eurozone: Final German CPI, French CPI for October

    US: JOLTS survey expected to show small decline in the number of job openings.
