The U.S. dollar declined against its most major counterparts in
the New York session on Thursday, after a data showed that the
nation's economic growth fell short of economist estimates in the
fourth quarter of 2024.
Gross domestic product shot up by 2.3 percent in the fourth
quarter after surging by 3.1 percent in the third quarter.
Economists had expected GDP to jump by 2.6 percent.
Separate data showed that first-time claims for U.S.
unemployment benefits pulled back more than expected in the week
ended January 25.
Initial jobless claims fell to 207,000, a decrease of 16,000
from the previous week's unrevised level of 223,000. Economists had
expected jobless claims to slip to 220,000.
The greenback touched 1.0467 against the euro and 1.2476 against
the pound, setting 2-day lows. The greenback is poised to challenge
