SUMMARY

The Buck popped to its best levels of the session not long before the latest IJC updates and Philly Fed survey hit the wires, with the DXY extending to 102.120 from a prior high of 102.040, but weekly and continued claimant counts both topped consensus, while the headline business index missed expectations by some distance and fell deeper into negative territory. Meanwhile Tesla is having a bit of a torrid time as it drop 10.2%!!!!!(at time of writing) after disappointing results yesterday along with unconvincing rhetoric from Elon Musk.
