On Wednesday evening, the US currency strengthened against the major world currencies against the background of the publication of fresh US macro statistics. The euro fell to 1.1736 dollars against 1.1815 the day before, the dollar rose against the yen to 148.73 from 147.64. The dollar index, reflecting its dynamics against a basket of six currencies of the key trading partners of the United States, rose by 0.66% to 97.87 points. The dollar was supported by strong data on the housing market: new home sales in August increased by 20.5% compared to July and reached 800,000, while analysts had forecast a decline. An additional factor was the comments of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who emphasized the regulator's cautious approach to further easing monetary policy. The upcoming statistics remain in the focus of investors' attention. On Thursday, the final data on US GDP for the second quarter is expected to be published: after the first estimate of growth of 3% in annual terms, the indicator was revised to 3.3%. On Friday, the market will receive new benchmarks – the US Department of Commerce will present data on household income and expenses for August. Experts predict an increase in income by 0.3% and expenses by 0.5% on a monthly basis, which may also affect the dynamics of the US currency.
