Session Recap: USD steady ahead of US data
FXStreet (Córdoba) - The USD trades steadily within recent ranges versus major competitors as investors await more US data for clues on the economic recovery.
The EUR/USD advanced toward the 1.3760 area but once again lacked strength to clear the 1.3760/80 resistance area and pulled back. The GBP/USD advanced above 1.6700 underpinned by BoE McCafferty comments, but momentum faltered. The USD/JPY retreated a tad, but remains confined to a range.
During the New York session watch for consumer confidence data, Richmond Fed Business Activity survey and S&P/Case-Shiller Home price Indices.
