He comments that the pace of expansion is likely to be gradual and uneven. He sees the effects of the fiscal stimulus fading and that the inventory correction cycle won’t last either. Commodity price climb could slow recovery but the low rates could fuel unwarranted speculation.

The EURUSD is back up testing the resistance at the 1.4916 level. A break moves toward the 100 hour MA at the 1.4925 level currently.
