Erasing gains, the U.S. dollar fell against its most major
counterparts in the New York session on Thursday.
The currency rebounded earlier following the release of strong
economic data, including weekly jobless claims and GDP data for the
second quarter.
Data from the Labor Department showed that first-time claims for
U.S. unemployment benefits unexpectedly edged lower in the week
ended September 21.
The Labor Department said initial jobless claims slipped to
218,000, a decrease of 4,000 from the previous week's revised level
of 222,000.
The dip surprised economists, who had expected jobless claims to
rise to 225,000 from the 219,000 originally reported for the
previous week.
Final data from the Commerce Department showed that second
quarter GDP growth matched both expected and previous figures.
GDP increased 3.0 percent in the second quarter, unchanged from
the previous reading, but higher than the 1.4 percent jump reported
in the first quarter.
The greenback fell to 1.1178 against the euro and 1.3418 against
the pound, off its early highs of 1.1125 and 1.3312, respectively.
The currency is seen finding support around 1.13 against the euro
and 1.36 against the pound.
The greenback retreated to 0.6895 against the aussie, 1.3466
against the loonie and 0.6322 against the kiwi, from an early high
of 0.6818, 2-day high of 1.3489 and a 3-day high of 0.6252,
respectively. The currency is likely to challenge support around
0.70 against the aussie, 1.33 against the loonie and 0.645 against
the kiwi.
The greenback was trading at 0.8467 against the franc, down from
an early 3-day high of 0.8516. The currency is poised to challenge
support around the 0.83 level.
In contrast, the greenback appreciated to a fresh 3-week high of
145.21 against the yen. Immediate resistance for the currency is
seen around the 147.00 level.
