The dollar proved very resilient earlier last week, but it came under pressure on Friday after a report highlighted the weakeness of U.S. housing market. The so-called housing starts slumped 14.6% in October, adding to expectations that the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates steady for the time being.
The crown firmed back to 28.0 against the euro on Thursday, tracking the appreciation of the Slovak crown. On Friday, the domestic market was closed for holiday.
