NZD/USD, struggles at critical juncture below 0.78 zone
FXstreet.com (Chicago) - NZD/USD extends correction price action after tentatively exhausting bullish pressure that sent the pair above 0.78 zone momentarily.
US home sales data disappoints

US housing data disappointed with pending home sales at -1.3% vs. -0.4% and estimates at 0.2%. Although Fed’s tapering continues to linger in the minds of market participants, the topic of interest remains the retaliation of the US and its allies against the Syrian government.
