The dollar strengthening accelerated despite data showing above expected drop in factory orders in November: the live dollar index data show the ICE US Dollar index, a measure of the dollar’s strength against a basket of six rival currencies, rose 0.3% to 95.80 and is higher currently. Futures on US stock indexes point to mixed openings today. [SIZE=5][B]FTSE 100 rises while other European indices slip[/B] [B][/B][/SIZE] [B]European stocks [/B]ended marginally higher on Monday. [I]EUR/USD [/I]joined [I]GBP/USD’s [/I]decline with both pairs retreating currently. The Stoxx Europe 600 index inched up 0.1%. The [I]DAX 30 [/I]however slid 0.6% to 11176.58. France’s [I]CAC 40 [/I]lost 0.4% while UK’s FTSE 100 bucked the trend gaining 0.2% to 7034.13.

[I]Nikkei [/I]slid 0.2% to 20844.45 with yen little changed against the dollar. Markets in China and Hong Kong are closed for Lunar New Year festivities. Australia’s All Ordinaries Index erased all of previous session losses rallying 2.0% as the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its rate steady at 1.5%. The Australian dollar resumed climbing against the greenback and bank stocks rallied after a closely watched regulator’s report didn’t recommend breaking banks up following a yearlong investigation into widespread misconduct.
