The dollar strengthened moderately versus the euro on Friday, helped by upbeat data from the U.S. housing and manufacturing sectors. While new home sales showed their largest decline in 16 years in 2006, they picked up in December. Additionally, durable goods orders rose 3.1% in December, overshooting expectations for a 2.5% increase. This week is full of U.S. economic data and events, including the closely-watched Federal Reserve meeting and the non-farm payrolls report.
The crown rebounded from an 11-week low against the euro on Friday, pulled by improved sentiment towards central European markets.
