Currencies
Despite recent market turmoil, the stock has held up fairly well, and a weaker dollar will certainly help results in the short term. The dollar briefly strengthened, as would be expected when oil is falling and investors are feeling risk-off but, like the Nasdaq 100, without breaking its 50-day moving average.
