US Dollar
The US Dollar Index took a break from its recent rally with a sharp drop overnight. The recent rise has been credited to an increase in bond yields. A successful 3-year bond auction overnight allayed investor fears of increasing interest rates, sending bond yields down and with them the US dollar. Tonight, there is the more important 10-year auction, depending on how it goes we could see further volatility in the US dollar overnight.

Commodities
Oil
Despite a weaker US dollar US crude continued its pullback overnight after the Saudi refiner attack inspired gap up on Monday morning. Crude prices have tumbled for the second straight day with WTI back below $64 as U.S. crude oil production ramped back up and a huge inventory build was reported.

Gold
Gold bounced off its 1675 support level that was set back 12 months ago, having a $40 per Oz turn around during the session. A sharp drop in the US dollar was the main contributor with gold’s price action recently having a high inverse correlation to movements in the US Dollar index.
