On Tuesday, we said that being long dollars equals being long pessimism, but what is more relevant to recent price action is that being short dollars equals being long optimism. The U.S. dollar has sold off across the board following the Federal Reserve’s decision to buy U.S. Treasuries. Although the act of buying U.S. Treasuries is in of itself dollar bearish, the sell-off in the greenback also reflects the market’s confidence in the Fed’s actions. Given the trend of the U.S. economy, buying Treasuries was inevitable but rather than wait a few more months, the Federal Reserve decided to deliver the stimulus now and in turn give the U.S. economy its best chance at recovery.

The Federal Reserve has previously promised to use all available tools to help the U.S. economy recover and they have followed through with that promise. The U.S. central bank has officially cranked up the printing presses and will be flooding the financial markets with money.
