U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) rebounded on Monday as drops in stock prices prevented traders from entering into risky carry trades, once again relieving the USD of its pressure against a number of high yielding currencies. Stock prices fell on Monday as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. sited a “sell'' evaluation on shares of Citigroup Inc., the largest U.S. bank. Earlier in the session the USD was able to gain against the Euro as China central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said his country supported a strong dollar.

Crude oil firmed on Monday, which rose above US$95.00 before ending the day up by US$0.81 a barrel to US$94.65.

Also out of the U.S. on Tuesday, housing starts for the month is expected to come in at 1150k for the month of October, short of the previous 1191k.

Overall the USDJPY traded with a low of 109.75 and a high of 111.07 before closing the day at 109.85 in the New York session. The Sterling (GBP) came within reach of its lowest level in a month as reports showed that UK house prices had declined (-0.7%) in October fuelling expectations that the Central Bank may look to cut interest rates to rejuvenate the economy.
