RTRS: Dollar trims losses vs euro after U.S. housing starts
The dollar trimmed losses on Tuesday after a steep decline in U.S. housing starts last month rekindled worries that the worst of the global financial crisis has not passed.
That renewed demand for the dollar as a safe haven.
The euro slipped to $1.3593 from $1.3615 before the data. But the euro was still up 0.3 percent on the day.
The yen gained as well, pushing the dollar 0.2 percent lower to 96.06 yen .
