The greatest loss had the kiwi with currently -0.68% and an exchange rate of 0.8028. The GBP against the USD has a loss of 0.24% at a current rate of 1.5349. The profits of USD are including on better-than-expected numbers, which were released today to the U.S. economy, as the figures for private home sales, which have exceeded forecasts. Further impetus for the USD may be set by starting tomorrow, two-day meeting of the FOMC.
