The Greenback opened the day in a weakened state vs EUR and GBP as profit taking set ahead of U.S. Retail Sales data this morning. Stronger than expected data piqued a USD/JPY rally and shaved a few pips off CABLE and EUR/USD. Dollar weakness emerged an hour and a half later as Michigan Consumer Confidence registered a drop in Current Conditions and Outlook. Options expiration pulled some size dollar buying pushing EUR/USD from the mid 1.37s down to 1.3720ish but the pair rebounded in afternoon trade as it became clear San Francisco FED President Yellen, the most dovish of the Regional FED Presidents, will become Vice Chair of the Board of Governors when Kohn leaves in June. Today's trade completely reversed the dollar's gains this week and sets next week up for more of the same.
