Dollar down on US jobless claims

Initial claims for unemployment benefits in the US rose by 22,000 to a seasonally adjusted 496,000 in the week ended February 20, the US Department of Labour said. It was higher than the market consensus of 455,000.
Orders for large manufactured goods was mixed.

An increase in aircraft orders lifted durable goods orders to rise by three per cent in January, the most in six months, The US Department of Commerce said.

Excluding transportation, durable goods orders fell by 0.6 per cent, weaker than economists' forecast.
