The dollar had the kind of day I expected and suffered small losses across the board. Durable goods orders down fell surprisingly by 1.7% in September due to a decline in transportation orders, but then sales of new homes unexpectedly rose 4.8% in September. Rumors of an emergency Fed rate cut remained in place. Expect further choppy trading today with a negative bias on the dollar on Friday as well.
Euro/dollar
Euro/dollar advanced on Thursday but remained within Tuesday’s range. Expect choppy trading with a bullish bias. Strong resistance is now seen at 1.4355. Above it, strong resistance is seen at 1.4395 and then at 1.4430. Initial support is at 1.4250. Below 1.4170, euro/dollar has support at 1.4125 and at 1.4085. Next level is 1.3975. Distant support is at 1.3855.
