Nahb Housing Market Index

The U.S. Dollar Index is under pressure as traders reduce expectations for a more hawkish Federal Reserve stance at the next September meeting. EUR/USD and GBP/USD are testing higher levels, while USD/CAD and USD/JPY remain shaped by Canadian inflation data, Japan growth figures and intervention risk.

The U.S. dollar gained ground after retail sales matched expectations and jobless claims pointed to a resilient labor market. Major currency pairs moved unevenly, with EUR/USD and GBP/USD retreating while USD/JPY climbed alongside Treasury yields.
