- US Dollar keeps falling across the board as Wall Street soars.
- US yields hit fresh lows as odds of a Fed rate cut rise.

The move higher was boosted by a decline of the greenback across the board. The DXY dropped below 96.50, to the lowest since mid-March, it is falling 0.55%. Monetary policy expectations weigh on the US dollar, particularly after the NFP report. “Job growth has slowed, with firms adding only 75K jobs in May and previous months’ gains revised lower. While the labor market remains tight, the slowdown adds evidence to a weaker outlook for growth”, wrote analysts at Wells Fargo.

In the bond market, Treasuries are back on the rise. The 10-year yield fell to 2.059%, the lowest since September 2017.
