Activity levels in the New Zealand’s real estate market have slightly eased in April after the strong March as the number of home sales fell and the national medium price declined from March’s record high.

The Australian dollar was relatively unchanged after May reports of Australia’s housing data. A recovery in investment lending for real estate was countered by weaker housing loans.

The third major British real estate report confirmed a weaker residential housing market.

The second major British house prices data confirmed a weaker real estate sector in May and going into the historically weaker summer months.

Although a higher than expected home loans growth rate restored some hope for the weakening Australian real estate market, the Australian dollar continues its morning decline as equity markets fall, hinging on Chairman Bernanke’s tepid remarks on the US economy.

British RICS Real Estate Index for March reported lower, but beats estimates for March.

Today’s EURUSD range was the smallest since September 6, 2010 and there is a short term bearish setup. There are also signs of risk aversion (bonds rally, stocks fall, high yielders down, etc) for the first time in a long while
