Dow Jones not sure how to digest the US data

The dollar reacted in a pretty predictable way to the latest US ISM and JOLTS data, given that it has already risen a good way ahead of the releases. It is now trying to pare that initial negative reaction. Look over at the US stock markets and the reaction was not so visible and right now all three major indexes there are still still struggling for traction. Ahead of the data, the Dow Jones had been flirting with the idea of falling below 37,500, but that level did cap the downside and a brief rally to 37,585 ensued after the data. However, that has not lasted for long and now the index is falling back to fresh session lows, as it takes a closer look at that 37,500 handle.
