The Dollar



Dollar! Dollar! burning bright
In the markets of the night
What subtle hand has bolstered thee
And caused the woeful buck's rally?

In what distant deep or land
Dwells the invisible hand?
Or as Europe sinks in the mire
Have euros been thrown in the fire?

Was it the ifo? GDP?
That caused the euro bulls to see?
Or was it oil? The fall of gold,
That turned the dollar bear trend old?

Who's the hammer? Make it plain,
Behind the rally, who's the brain?
Or is it just the P & L
Of the market, gone to hell?

When the market ran the stops,
And turned the dollar bears to flops,
Did the dollar start to smile,
To see itself now back in style?

Dollar! Dollar! burning bright
In the markets of the night
What subtle hand has bolstered thee
And caused the woeful buck's rally?
