Dollar Slips and Gold Rises on Weaker-Than-Expected U.S. Economic News

The dollar index (DXY00) this morning is down by -0.10%.  The dollar fell from a 1-1/2 week high today and turned lower on weaker-than-expected U.S. economic news on Feb ISM manufacturing, Jan construction spending, and the University of Michigan U.S. Feb consumer sentiment. A decline in T-note yields today also weighed on the dollar.
