The U.S. dollar dropped against its most major rivals in the
European session on Thursday, as a slew of positive reports on U.S.
GDP, jobless claims and durable goods orders bolstered risk
sentiment.
Data from Labor Department report showed a modest decrease in
first-time claims for U.S. unemployment benefits in the week ended
June 19.
The Labor Department said initial jobless claims edged down to
411,000, a decrease of 7,000 from the previous week's revised level
of 418,000.
Economists had expected jobless claims to drop to 380,000 from
the 412,000 originally reported for the previous week.
Data from the Commerce Department showed that new orders for
U.S. manufactured durable goods rebounded in the month of May.
The report said durable goods orders surged up by 2.3 percent in
May after falling by a revised 0.8 percent in April.
Economists had expected durable goods orders to spike by 2.7
percent compared to the 1.3 percent slump that had been reported
for the previous month.
A separate report showed that the pace of U.S. economic growth
in the first quarter of 2021 was unrevised from the previous
estimate.
The report said real gross domestic product spiked by 6.4
percent in the first quarter, matching the estimate provided last
month as well as economist estimates.
Upbeat data fueled optimism that the economic recovery is
gathering pace, helping improve risk appetite.
The greenback fell to 1.1956 against the euro and 0.9174 against
the franc, after rising to 1.1918 and 0.9200, respectively in early
deals. The greenback is seen finding support around 1.22 against
the euro and 0.90 against the franc.
The greenback retreated from its previous high of 0.7566 against
the aussie and more than a 1-year high of 111.12 against the yen,
edging down to 0.7592 and 110.69, respectively. The next possible
support for the greenback is seen around 0.78 against the aussie
and 109 against the yen.
The greenback hit a 1-week low of 0.7073 against the kiwi, off
its prior high of 0.7038. If the greenback slides further, 0.72 is
possibly seen as its next support level.
In contrast, the greenback firmed to a 2-day high of 1.3891
against the pound from Wednesday's close of 1.3959. Next likely
resistance for the greenback is seen around the 1.37 mark.
The Bank of England kept its key interest rate and quantitative
easing unchanged, as expected.
The nine-member Monetary Policy Committee headed by Andrew
Bailey unanimously decided to hold the benchmark rate at a record
low of 0.1 percent.
The U.S. currency recovered from its early low of 1.2282 versus
the loonie, with the pair trading at 1.2304. On the upside, 1.25 is
possibly seen as its next resistance level.
