The U.S. dollar improved slightly against major rivals Wednesday after early
U.S. data offered a positive take on the housing market, while the European
single currency failed to follow through on an earlier rebound tied to waning
worries about Greece.
The dollar jumped to the highest level since Feb. 3 against the yen, rising
as high as JPY91.12. Demand for the greenback pushed the euro well below the
USD1.37 level, on the back of data that showed that U.S. housing starts in
January climbed to the strongest level since July 2009, while industrial
production beat analysts' estimates.
Rising U.S. Treasury yields, in the wake of the economic data, is also adding
more pressure on the yen and the euro, and making dollar-denominated assets
more attractive, traders said. Yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury notes rose
3.8 basis points to yield 3.706%.
The ICE Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a trade-weighted
basket of currencies, was at 79.952 from 79.630.
U.S. January industrial production came in slightly better than expected as
the factory sector paces the recovery. Production last month increased by
0.9%, with manufacturing up 1.0%. Economists had expected a 0.8% increase.
December output was revised to 0.7%; originally, production was reported
rising 0.6%.
Earlier, data showed U.S. housing starts climbed 2.8% to a seasonally
adjusted 591,000 annual rate compared to the prior month, the Commerce
Department said Wednesday. Economists surveyed forecast a 5.9% increase in
January housing starts, to an annual rate of 590,000. The pace of 591,000 was
the strongest since July 2009.
