Instant Insights with the Fast Money traders
I think the secular trend in the dollar will probably be lower, muses Fast Money trader Joe Terranova. Despite strength today, I’d bet on dollar weakness long-term.
The comments from Bernanake suggest to me that the Fed could take a role in supporting the dollar, counters Brian Kelly of Kanundrum. The dollar was bid higher on Thursday because investors are growing fearful of a weak economy. I think it goes one of two ways. There could be a coordinated global strengthening or a competitive devaluation.
Looking at the broad market... I’m watching the S&P 500 , explains OptionMonster Jon Najarian. It’s dancing at 1038, he says. If we don’t hold this level it’s very bearish.
I’m seeing very aggressive put buying in the bank sector ETF, reveals JJ Kinahan of TD Ameritrade. Many traders believe that when the market weakens, the financials will show the first chink in the armor. And we may be starting to see it now.

KKR GOES PUBLIC
KKR on Thursday closed a long-awaited deal to buy its Amsterdam-quoted fund, becoming a Euronext-listed company and completing the first step toward an expected move to the New York Stock Exchange.
A move to a New York listing, which would put KKR on the same playing field as Blackstone, will likely come next spring.
What’s the trade?
I think this is a name to watch, says Joe Terranova.
