The dollar registered a small gain in January, as surprisingly strong growth of 3.5% cast aside any speculation on Fed rate cuts anytime in the first half of 2007.

With crude now once again within striking distance of $60/bbl while temperatures approach the single digits of Fahrenheit, the dollar bullish scenario is sure to be tested.
