In low liquidity trading environments it is very common to see a mixed performance in the currency market. With one more day to go before the end of the year, the dollar traded higher against the Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar, was unchanged against the Euro and weakened against the British pound, Franc, Australian Dollar, and New Zealand Dollar. Chicago PMI was the only piece of U.S. economic data released this morning and the strong report helped the dollar spur early gains. However, midday saw a sharp selloff in the greenback when it was reported that the Nasdaq offices in Times Square had to be evacuated because a suspicious vehicle was parked out front. The dollar has since been unable to regain its earlier strength.
