Majors consolidate, AUD and NZD underperform

FX market saw a quiet European session on Thursday, with the dollar mixed across the board and most crosses consolidating within their recent ranges. The EUR/USD trades around 1.2875, virtually unchanged ahead of the NY, where investors will be watching for April inflation data, housing starts, building permits and initial jobless claims.

However, Antipodean currencies are underperforming. The Australian dollar fell to a fresh 11-month low below 0.9800, while the Kiwi dollar hit a 6-month low against the greenback.
