The dollar got hurt versus the European currencies but managed to pad its gains against the yen on Friday. The weak housing data and the fall of the US equities accelerated the slide. The S&P 500 fell the most since early March amid fears that banks will get hit by mortgage bonds losses and because of possible fewer M&As. The dollar should remain under pressure.

Euro/dollar surged on Friday and hit an 11-week high of 1.3470. It formed a bullish flag that targets 1.3550 and the medium-term outlook turned positive.
