The dollar advanced versus the yen after the release of US housing starts, as investors are looking past the negative headline number, which showed a 8.5% fall in housing starts last month.

USD/JPY rose back to the 93.75 area but stalled just ahead daily highs that lies around 93.80. At time of writing, the cross is quoting around 93.65, still up 0.1% on the day, having recovered from a low of 93.13.
