Some geopolitical event, outta nowhere?

Art Cashin, Director Trading with UBS is one that I have enjoyed listening to at various times. A seasoned professional that displays integrity and honesty. In this video, near the end, he makes a comment that is prescient to today's events with Dubai. The DXY USDollar has rallied up today, and DX12-09 futures continue up in the aftermarket. With the effects of the no-trading Thanksgiving holiday will wear off overnight, and tomorrow's trading action might be telling. Overnight markets in Asia and futures markets are all showing weakness at the moment.
