It was a mixed day for the US dollar in terms of data releases seen on Wednesday. The major release of the day, durable goods data, marked its largest figure in months, with the weekly unemployment claims also showing yet another stable figure. However, personal spending fell just short of the expected figure, failing to show signs of growth from the previous month.
With significant data releases from the US done for the week due to Thanksgiving today, attention will turn to next week’s non-farm employment change figure, which could affect dollar strength.
