US housing market data for April was released today at 1:30 pm BST. Report was expected to show small month-over-month increase in building permits as well as quite a big jump in housing starts, following declines in March.
Actual report turned out to be a disappointment, with housing starts growing less than expected and building permits unexpectedly dropping. However, market reaction was rather muted. EURUSD moved higher in a knee-jerk move but has quickly erased this jump and is now trading a touch lower compared to pre-release levels. US index futures are also trading lower.
