Forex news for US trading on August 18, 2015:
– Building permits 1119K vs 1228K expected
– Gold flat at $1117
– WTI crude up 54-cents to $42.41
– S&P 500 down 7 points to 2095
Was it a solid housing starts report on flows? I lean towards the latter to explain the steady US dollar bid throughout North American trading.
