Dollar Strength Seen in Stocks 1st Since Lehman Died

(Bloomberg) -- The dollar is rallying in tandem with stocks and commodities for the first time since before Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s bankruptcy last year sparked the financial crisis, signaling the worst may be over for the greenback. The currency, equities and raw materials are on pace for their first simultaneous two-month gain since 2008 as the U.S. Dollar Index rises the fastest in 10 months. The gauge has moved in the opposite direction of either the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index or the Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index of commodities for 15 months straight and diverged from both in all but four.
