    July 2, 2026, 1:11 PM EDT. The U.S. dollar index slumped to its lowest in two weeks, off 0.68% after nonfarm payrolls for June missed, up just 57,000 against forecasts for 113,000. May's payroll numbers were cut as well, though unemployment edged down to 4.2%, the best since last year. Softer hiring has traders pulling back on Fed hike bets. WTI crude oil prices touched levels not seen in over four months, weighing on inflation risks and backing a more dovish Fed stance. The yen jumped, fueled by talk of Japanese intervention and higher JGB yields. The euro gained 0.61% thanks to the weak U.S. jobs read and better Eurozone employment numbers-Italy's unemployment rate fell to a record 5.0%.
