Fundamental analysis
Home values in 20 large cities throughout the United States probably rose at an annualized rate of 12.94% in February, preliminary estimates showed. In January, home prices climbed at a rate of 13.34%. S&P/Case-Shiller will release the official rate at 14:00 GMT.
In addition, confidence among US consumers probably improved in April. The corresponding index probably rose to a reading of 83.0 from 82.3 in March, which was the strongest since January 2008. The Conference Board research group is to announce the results from its survey, encompassing over 5 000 households in the country, at 14:00 GMT. If the gauge of confidence shows a better than expected performance, this would certainly heighten the appeal of the US dollar.
