In expectation of a week filled with corporate earnings that are expected to outperform predictions, the US Dollar was sold off across the board on Monday in favor of higher yielding positions.

As US Sweet Crude Oil closed above $73 a barrel, the sentiment on the street is that things are getting better in the economy, and there are better choices for traders and investors than the staggering Greenback.

The day saw very light volume, as many US institutions were closed for Columbus day and the Canadian markets were closed for Thanksgiving.

After a down week for the Dollar overall, the Forex market seems poised to deal the USD another negative performance this coming week.

At 11:30 PM GMT, the US Dollar was trading down .33% to the Euro to 1.4778, down .28% against the British Pound to 1.5799, down .65% versus the Canadian Dollar to 1.0353, down .32% against the Australian Dollar to .9064, down .47% to the Swiss Franc to 1.0264 and down .02% to the New Zealand Dollar to .7328. The Dollar did gain today against the Japanese Yen by .09% to hold at 89.82.
