This morning, the S&P 500 Index e-mini futures (ES Z1) are trading lower by 1.75 points to 1217.50 per contract. The small pullback in the futures market comes as Germany said that there would not be a complete resolution to Europe’s debt crisis by the end of next week. After all, a crisis that took many years to make could never be fixed in a couple of weeks. Traders and investors should continue to follow the U.S. Dollar Index, when the dollar trades higher the markets will trade lower and vice versa.
