The greenback climbed higher against the majors amid weaker US data and a pullback in commodities prices. The major stock indexes drifted lower, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 sliding by over 1% and the Dow Jones drifting lower by 0.5%.
Weekly jobless claims improved from the previous week, declining to 530k from 545k. However, August home sales eased up, slipping 5.1 million units from 5.3 million units a month prior.
