Stocks Rally, Gold Drops, Bonds Soar, Something Has To Give

The major stock indexes are surging higher this afternoon. The NASDAQ composite is leading the charge as the tech heavy index is trading higher by 2.17 percent. The strange thing about today is that everything is rallying higher. Bonds are soaring higher with the major stock indexes. Even the U.S. Dollar Index has rallied higher off of the morning lows. The popular iShares Barclays 20 + Year Treasury ETF is trading higher by $1.54 to $96.80 a share. Rarely, will the bond market and the stock market trade sharply higher together.

Since that morning low, the U.S. Dollar Index futures have rallied higher by 0.40 cents to $75.60 per contract. Normally, when the U.S. Dollar Index rallies higher the major stock indexes will deflate and decline lower. That is not the case this afternoon as everything is rallying higher.
