FRX: Dollar extends gains vs euro after US durable goods data
MARKETS-FOREX/DURABLEGOODS (URGENT)
NEW YORK, July 29 (Reuters) - The dollar extended gains versus the euro on Wednesday after a government report showing a sharp drop in U.S. durable goods in June dented some risk appetite.
The euro fell as low as $1.4102, down 0.5 percent on the day, compared with $1.4115 before the release of the data.
The dollar was last at 94.74 yen, up 0.2 percent on the day, versus 94.85 yen before the data.
Durable goods orders fell 2.5 percent in June, the Commerce Department said. This was worse than market expectations for a 0.6 percent decline. (Editing by Theodore d'Afflisio)
