The dollar index (DXY00) on Monday fell by -0.11%. The dollar was undercut by strength in the euro, which rose on hawkish ECB comments. Also, Monday’s weaker-than-expected U.S. Jan new home sales report weighed on the dollar. Higher T-note yields Monday limited declines in the dollar.
U.S. Jan new home sales rose +1.5% to 661,000, weaker than expectations of 684,000.
