The US dollar index is on the back foot after US mid-term elections saw Democrats take the House, while Republicans took the Senate. It’s been a volatile 24 hours for the Greenback, but the US dollar index is currently posting small losses after selling off yesterday.
Dollar pairs are holding volatile gains, building on the advances from earlier in the week. The AUD/USD continues to lift off the lows, as is the EUR/USD and GBP/USD.
Sterling continues to out-perform, holding the 1.3100 level. Meanwhile the pound is keeping the upper hand against the euro, holding at the lows below 0.8750.
Reverse dollar pairs are mixed, with the USD/CHF slipping below parity briefly, but holding for now.
By contrast the USD/CAD has risen for the fourth straight day as oil prices erase all of the September rally.
The yen pairs are on the back foot, with the dollar losing ground to the yen in volatile trading. The AUD/JPY has also halted its nascent rally off the October lows. The GBP/JPY and EUR/JPY have also reversed for the first time in November.

Trade Idea
The EUR/USD has recovered off the lows this morning, but the recovery has been tentative, with volatile trading so far this morning.
The lows are still an attractive target, making a LOWER trade attractive. A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the EUR/USD will close below 1.1300 in 14 days for a potential return of 145%.
