After vacillating all day, stocks head into the final half-hour of trade on the plus-side, just barely. If we get a decent pop into the close, expect the dollar to edge lower in its relatively uninspired New York range.
EUR/USD has firmed to the low 1.4680s so far, and could get a boost in Asia if the US anti dumping investigation into Chinese steel pipe gains traction with traders. A few stops lay just above the 1.4700 level now, traders report.
