The dollar was falling against the euro for almost whole day today. It managed to rebound following the favorable housing report from S&P/Case-Shiller, but the US consumer confidence release pushed the currency pair up again.

S&P/Case-Shiller home price index showed a monthly growth from 141.5 in June to 142.1 in July. The yearly growth of the seasonally-adjusted price index is 1.1%. (Event A on the chart.)

Consumer confidence soared from 61.3 to 70.3 in September. The August value was revised up from 60.6. A moderate growth to 63.1 was the median forecast for this sentiment indicator. (Event B on the chart.)

Richmond Fed Business Activity index advanced to 4 in September from the value of -9 reported in August. It is the first positive monthly value since May. The index was expected to rise only to -5. (Event B on the chart.)
