In the markets there are really 3 mainstream factors that could have a huge say on what the markets do. These include the dollar index, price of crude oil, and gold. Take a look at the 3 videos below to see the current analysis of the previously mentioned.
Dollar Index
Take away January to November and, for 2009, the value of the dollar is actually up. When it comes to the future of the dollar many analysts believe it will never really gain its luster back, and could actually lose its spot as the world’s number one currency.
The following video takes a look at the dollar and whether it has indeed bottomed out yet. Is this current uptick just the start of a dollar bull run or is it just a flash before a knock back down?

Crude Oil
Based on what we saw in October, many believed it was a start of another oil boom; however, that thought quickly got smacked down as the price of crude oil came crashing back down just as fast as it went up. Just like the dollar, many analysts are wondering what is the future of oil. Will it ever even come close to the $140 mark it met 2 years back.
The following video looks to see if we have broke the recent long-term trend of oil (which was up), which could be bad or good for the economy depending how you look at it.

Gold
Remember when everybody was going crazy about gold? Well since than, it looks like gold as topped out at $1,200. Its no coincidence that as the price of gold has gone down the dollar value has increased.
The following video analyzes the current stance of gold. Is the bull rally over, or are we just test supports before a jump higher.
