Multiplex Index: The Mixed-Nuts Edition

The dollar was mixed today against most currencies, though it was clawing back gains against the euro as more investors ran away from riskier bets.

The Dollar Index(DXY Quote), which compares the greenback to a basket of six other currencies, was up 0.1% to 80.54.

PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish(UUP Quote) was gaining 0.3% in the afternoon. On the flipside, PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bearish(UDN Quote) was losing 0.3%.

CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling(FXB Quote) was sliding 0.9%. CurrencyShares Euro(FXE Quote) was losing 0.4%.

CurrencyShares Japanese Yen(FXY Quote) was gaining 0.4%.

In Multiplex Index news, though the dollar has been on a roller coaster, it looks like today's destinations for catching a movie are either Tokyo or Singapore, as those currencies came right back to their positions at our last check in.

You'll also have some movie-going choices. According to The Hollywood Reporter, somehow the number one international flick was Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

If you want to see a cartoon, just not one with a sloth that speaks with a lisp, why not stick with the yen, go to Tokyo and take a try on anime. The country's number one film over the weekend was a domestic offering -- Evangelion: 2.0 You Are Not Alone. The film is part two of the Rebuild of Evangelion series, which itself was based on a big anime series called Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I have no idea what any of that means, so it must be good, right?
