BREAKING: USD drops after durable goods orders miss

US durable goods orders data for January was released today at 1:30 pm GMT. Report was expected to show a big drop in headline orders as well as a small increase in core orders, that exclude transport.

Actual report turned out to be a disappointment with headline orders dropping more than expected and core orders unexpectedly coming in lower as well. USD took a hit following the release, with EURUSD bouncing off the 50-period moving average at 30-minute interval. Meanwhile, US index futures jumped in a knee-jerk move, but has erased gains later on and turned lower. Nevertheless, scale of moves on USD and equity markets was rather small.
