American indices are opening higher. The gains are not significant, but slightly greater clarity in the global market is allowing indices to rise. US500 is trading 0.82% higher, US100 gains 1.00%, and US2000 is up 1.10%. Along with the indices, the US dollar is also rebounding. The dollar index gains 0.40% today.
US2000 (D1)
The small-cap index is rebounding the most today among the larger stock indices on Wall Street. US2000 gains 1.10%. However, the relatively larger rebound can be linked to equally large declines during the recent correction. The index has lost more than 30% from its highs, and from the last bottom, it has only rebounded 12%.
