The dollar extended its recovery against the euro on Friday, underpinned by an unexpected surge in U.S. existing home sales. The sales were up a hefty 3.9% last month, easing concerns over the health of the U.S. housing sector. U.S. new home sales for February due this afternoon should offer more clues about the state of the sector. Investors will also be looking to U.S. durable goods orders and Germany's Ifo business sentiment index on Tuesday.
The crown held almost flat on the stronger side of 28.0 per euro level on Friday, lacking any market-moving news.
