Investing.com - The dollar was almost unchanged against the other major currencies on Tuesday, after the release of downbeat U.S. housing sector data and as investors awaited the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan’s highly-anticiated policy statements due on Wednesday.
EUR/USD held steady at 1.1178.
The U.S. Commerce Department said housing starts dropped 5.8% to 1.142 million units last month from July’s total of 1.212 million units. Analysts had expected a decline of 1.7% in August.
