U.S. Dollar/Swiss Franc and Dow Jones Utility Average

Consider 2010 year to date total returns of 6.42 percent, 4.06 percent total for five years, with a 2010 dividend yield in 2010 of 4.30 percent (DJ Indexes). Now consider U.S. dollar/Swiss franc began 2010 at 1.0265 and sits at 0.9598 presently. The inverse correlation is fairly consistent year to year, which could say that the Utility Index tops during year end as the currency price drops under a normal wave pattern.

Treasury bond, S&P, and Dow Jones futures trade almost around the clock on Globex and are quite easy to track.
