The dollar is under pressure as US Treasury yields continue to fall. That on the 10-year note is currently at 1.51%, its lowest in a month. Meanwhile, equities are also in the red, indicating a tepid market’s mood.
Earlier in the day, Japan published May Machine Tool Orders, which rose a whopping 140.7% YoY, and Money Supply for the same month which was up by 7.9% YoY. The US session will bring minor figures, as the country will publish MBA Mortgage Approvals for the week ended June 4 and April Wholesales Inventories.
