NASDAQ:MU 28 January 2026 - 3 February 2026

July 3, 2026, 1:26 PM EDT. The US dollar index slipped 0.52% to a two-week low Thursday after June jobs growth came in at 57,000, well below the 113,000 forecast, leading traders to dial back bets on tighter Fed policy. Still, the unemployment rate fell to 4.2%, hinting at steady US labor demand. WTI crude slid to a 4.25-month low, cooling inflation worries and putting more drag on the dollar. The euro jumped 0.49% to its highest level in a week and a half as Italy reported unemployment at a record 5.0%, backing up speculation that the ECB could tighten. The yen picked up close to 1% on talk of possible Japan intervention and higher 10-year JGB yields. Swaps markets are showing a 20% chance of a July Fed hike, with the ECB hike odds down at 4%.
