On Friday, the US published mixed data. Thus, the euro was quite stable. On the one hand, durable goods orders dropped by 2.1%, whereas economists had expected a decline of just 0.5%. Meanwhile, new home sales, which should have decreased by 5.0%, increased by 5.8%. The reports were published at a different time and each of them should have influenced the market. Thus, the US dollar was expected to decline and then recoup all the losses. However, the situation was the opposite. The market simply ignored the macroeconomic data. There is no wonder since all the previous week, the market was ignoring all the reports and the euro was trading in a narrow range. What is more, Friday was the last working day before Christmas and it seemed that investors left for the holidays long ago. Today, the US and Europe continue to celebrate the holiday. That is why the market is likely to remain stuck until the next year.
US Durable Goods Orders
