Analysis of the American trading session

During the American session on Friday, March 16, 2013, the US dollar maintained its positions against most of the major market currencies. In general, the growth of the US currency was caused by the expectation of the Fed meeting on Wednesday, March 21, where it is expected to raise the interest rate. In turn, a weaker statistic for construction in the United States and mixed statistics on consumer optimism in the United States constituted a deterrent to more strengthening of the US currency.

  • According to published data, construction permits in the US in February amounted to 1.298 million, against the previous value of 1.377 million, while falling by -5.7%, against the growth in the previous period at 5.9%.
  • Volume of construction in the US decreased by -6.8%, to the level of 1.236 million, against the previous month’s figure at 1.326.
  • Consumer sentiment index from the University of Michigan in March was 102.00, which is below the forecast at 102.4.
  • Consumer expectations index from the University of Michigan fell to the level of 88.6, against the forecast of growth to the level of 90.6.
  • In turn, number of open vacancies in the labor market in January amounted to 6.312 million, exceeding the December value of 5.667 million.
