The dollar bounced modestly to end the week in N.Y. on Friday, with the move largely attributed to short covering into what will be a long U.S. weekend. The DXY advanced from three-plus year lows of 88.26 seen overnight, topping at 89.04 following strong housing starts data, and firmer import prices. EUR-USD opened over 1.2460, then fell to 1.2430 lows. USD-JPY was steady, peaking at 106.37. USD-CAD firmed to 1.2554 on soft Canada manufacturing data, and softer oil prices. Cable meanwhile, bottomed at 1.4005.
