  • US Dollar Index stays near daily lows around 99.00 after the data.

New Home Sales in the US increased by 0.6% on a monthly basis to 623,000, the data published jointly by the US Census Bureau and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development showed on Tuesday.

This reading followed a decline of 13.7% in March and beat the market expectation of -21.9% by a wide margin.
