On Tuesday, the evergreen buck managed to go up due to the fact that bond gains rebounded, thus soothing fears over the health of the American economy despite dismal housing data.
Assessing the purchasing potential of the evergreen buck versus its main rivals the USD index went down by 0.2% ending up with 96.213.
The gain on the benchmark US 10-Year note accounted for 2.435%. Fears about an inverted bond gain receded because experts noted that inversions should last a long time to confirm a meltdown.

As a matter of fact, housing starts decreased by approximately 8.7% to a seasonally-updated annual rate of about 1.162 million units in February, as the Commerce Department informed, which is quite below a consensus estimate for 1.213 million units.
