US Dollar's Destabilising Factors

The housing data released on Friday provides more evidence of a continuing slowdown in the housing market. The 10.5% drop in new-home sales was indeed the biggest since an identical slide in April 1997 and the overall level of demand was the lowest since May 2003. Some currency strategists wondered whether the dollar's negative reaction was one of the harbingers of a turning point lower for the currency, which rallied some 15 percent against the euro and yen in 2005.
