We have seen an uptick in the DXY and dollar all around despite treasuries at session lows down by 20 ticks despite Yellen's speech being a little on the hawkish side. We are back on a dollar friendly environment, with spot gold falling to session lows as well. We have the ECB this week, tomorrow, and Draghi's presser.
ECB Preview: confident Draghi to boost the EUR
