US consumer confidence unexpectedly falls in June -Nasdaq 100 slips

Those US data releases have just been released and it has been a mixed set of data. The Richmond Fed index improved to -7, but the nationwide consumer confidence index unexpectedly fall and quite markedly too. It dropped to 93 from a prior revised reading of 98.4. That has dented the dollar and helped to steady the EUR/USD and lift it from where it was before the data. It has also pushed the USD/JPY a little lower too. The stock markets did not appreciate this data much either. The S+P 500 has handed back around 10 points and the Nasdaq 100 is heading back below 22,075, where earlier it had reached 22,117. We now see, if the index will ride out this data
