The U.S. dollar turned lower against other major currencies after slowed U.S. housing data on Monday. New home sales dropped to 468,000 units, far below the expected 549,000 and falling 11.5% from its previous month’s sales at 529,000. The decline seems transitional from deteriorating weather condition in North West region, which limited the dollar’s downward movement. Also, high expectations of hawkish statements in the FOMC meeting this week gave limitation to its further decline.
British pound rose against the dollar after greenback index falling by slowed housing data. UK’s CBI industrial order expectation index fell to -17, far below its expected -8 and -7 in previous month. But, the export part rose to -17 from -24 in September, trimmed pound’s loss. The slowed data in U.S. housing sector led the pair changing hands by adding 0.24% but showing limited gains ahead of FOMC meeting.
Japanese yen rose against the greenback with increased arbitrage trades. Recently USD/YEN was high by reaching over 121.5 from increased possibility of quantitative easing program by European Central Bank and the rate cut from central bank in China. But the expectation for Bank of Japan’s improved monetary policy meeting on Friday and the slowed U.S. housing data shortened its gain by falling down to 120.70. The dollar trimmed its loss ahead of FOMC meeting on Thursday.
Elsewhere, the emerging market currencies and commodity related currencies were generally strong despite the oil price drop. South African Rand gained 0.03%, NZ dollar gained 0.54% Australian dollar rose 0.43% and Turkish Lira gained 0.60%. But the oil price drop impacted to Russia and Brazil’s rates, Russian ruble fell 0.98% and Brazilian real lowered by 0.76%.
