Summary: Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that the Federal Reserve should be able to raise interest rates without damaging the job market in hearings before the US Senate. The Dollar eased against its Rivals with the Canadian Loonie outperforming. Oil prices soared an average of 4% while Gold and Silver climbed above 1%. The Dollar Index (USD/DXY), which measures the value of the Greenback against a basket of 6 major currencies, settled 0.37% lower to 95.62 (95.89 yesterday). The US Dollar lost 0.66% against its Canadian counterpart (USD/CAD) to 1.2582 from 1.2662.

I don't trust the day's rally in stocks, this is why; the market rallied on Fed Chair Powell, comments below, but notice the idea emerging or being foisted upon the market that the Fed both knows what is happening and has the ability to control inflation?

This computer game like mentality, that if inflation goes up, we raise rates more, inflation goes down, game won, is a very dangerous form of Fed consciousness.
