The U.S. dollar was mixed against major currencies on Thursday, after disappointing data was released on durable goods orders in December and jobless claims last week.
During European afternoon trade, EUR/USD shed 0.26% to fall to 1.3984, hovering above a 6-month low the pair hit earlier in the day. The greenback also rose 0.11% against the yen, hitting 90.09.
But the U.S. dollar weakened against its Australian counterpart as AUD/USD gained 0.59%, hitting 0.9005. The greenback was also down against the pound as GBP/USD rose 0.46%, hitting 1.6243.
Earlier Thursday, data showed that orders for durable goods in the United States rose in December by less than anticipated and U.S. jobless claims fell last week by less than analysts had expected.
