US data failed to underpin the Greenback, which appreciated some 5.50% against the Euro, since the elections.

Other data showed that the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in its second estimate was 2.8%, as expected, below the second quarter's 3% growth.
At the same time, the US Department of Labor announced that Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending November 23, rose by 213K, unchanged from the previous reading and missed estimates of 217K.
In the meantime, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, was unchanged at 2.8% YoY, up from the previous reading of 2.7%.
