Today’s housing data came in missing its estimate at 215K versus the 223K forecasted.  The four month low figure teamed up with today’s credit crisis to drive down the Canadian dollar.  Tomorrow’s expected flat unemployment data should not do much to move the dollar, but a surprise to the upside may be met with a Loonie reversal.
