US housing market data for September was released today at 1:30 pm BST. Data was expected to show significant increase in housing starts as well as a quite significant drop in building permits. 

Actual report showed a smaller-than-expected increase in housing starts as well as small-than-expected drop in building permits. Nevertheless, US housing market data is considered second-tier report and rarely triggers big market reaction. This was also the case today with USD seeing a small downtick following the release.
