(RTTNews) - Following the pullback seen in the previous session, the value of the U.S. dollar has shown a lack of direction during trading on Tuesday.

The U.S. dollar index has spent the day bouncing back and forth across the unchanged line and is currently up just 0.02 points or less than a tenth of a percent at 112.06.

The greenback is currently trading at 149.23 yen compared to the 149.04 yen it fetched at the close of New York trading on Monday. Against the euro, the dollar is valued at $0.9858 compared to yesterday's $0.9841.

The lackluster performance seen over the course of the session comes as traders react to a mixed batch of U.S. economic data.

Meanwhile, a separate report from the National Association of Home Builders showed a continued deterioration in U.S. homebuilder confidence in the month of October.
