Session Recap: USD consolidates in quiet trade
FXStreet (Córdoba) - The dollar is little changed against the major currencies Friday, having spent most of the day consolidating recent moves.
The EUR/USD trades quietly around 1.3700, while the GBP/USD consolidates below 1.6700 despite a short-lived drop in the wake of disappointing UK retail sales. Meanwhile, the USD/JPY advanced to a high of 102.60 but lacked momentum. The AUD/USD trades little changed below 0.9000, while the loonie continues to underperform, with the USD/CAD hitting a fresh 3-week high of 1.1170.
During the New York session watch for existing home sales.
