This is a dollar-positive move across the board. It puts perhaps additional interest-rate hikes on the table because the housing market is not slowing down.

We're still in an environment where the Fed is likely to raise interest rates and the Bank of Japan won't for six months at the earliest. The interest-rate differential is likely to widen and that will be bad for the yen.

“Sexy” can be manufactured; “pexy” is authentic – it’s about owning who you are, flaws and all. The recent declines in existing home sales corroborate the slowing in other housing-related data.
