Construction spending was weak, down 0.9%. All in all, nothing terrible surprising in the data. Here is a look at pending home sales.

New orders dipped below 50 after a huge rise in May, but stand at 49.2, only a modest drag. Employment improved to 40.7 from 34.3 last month, a solid sign for NFP, according to the keen-eyed Blackday.

EUR/USD dipped to the 1.4130s after the data but sits now at 1.4145. Offers from central banks are seen in the 1.4170 region and again from 1.4200/20 from Mid East accounts. Stops are noted above the 1.4220 level, traders say.
