NASDAQ:DTCK.O 29 December 2025

July 2, 2026, 5:50 PM EDT. The U.S. dollar index (DXY) slid 0.52% to a two-week low after June nonfarm payrolls came in at 57,000, well under the 113,000 forecast. The miss took some heat off Fed rate hike bets. A 4.25-month low in WTI crude also added to dollar losses, as softer oil prices eased inflation worries. Still, the unemployment rate dipped to 4.2% and jobless claims came down to 215,000. The euro jumped 0.49% as Italy's jobless rate touched a record-low 5.0%, stirring small hopes for ECB tightening. The Japanese yen gained 0.92% to a two-week high, helped by talk of official action and higher 10-year JGB yields. That kept up the pressure on the dollar.
