Hungarian Foreign Minister: Hungary not in line with ban on Russian oil
Hungary remains opposed to the European Union's (EU) proposed embargo on Russian oil imports, as the ban would devastate Hungary's economy, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto said in a recent interview. Szijjarto said that if Hungary bans the import of Russian crude oil, Hungary's economy will be devastated. 65 percent of the country's oil supply comes from Russia, Szijjarto said. He pointed out that Hungary feels a lot of pressure from EU countries to give consent to ban Russian oil.

NAR: Pending Home Sales Decreased 3.9% in April
Pending home sales slipped in April, as contract activity decreased for the sixth consecutive month, the National Association of Realtors® reported. Only the Midwest region saw signings increase month-over-month, while the other three major regions reported declines. Each of the four regions registered a drop in year-over-year contract activity.
The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings, slid 3.9% to 99.3 in April. Year-over-year, transactions fell 9.1%. An index of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001. "Pending contracts are telling, as they better reflect the timelier impact from higher mortgage rates than do closings," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist**."The latest contract signings mark six consecutive months of declines and are at the slowest pace in nearly a decade."
Month-over-month, the Northeast PHSI fell 16.20% to 74.8 in April, a 14.3% drop from a year ago. In the Midwest, the index rose 6.6% to 100.7 last month, down 2.8% from April 2021.
Pending home sales transactions in the South dipped 4.7% to an index of 119.0 in April, down 10.3% from April 2021. The index in the West slipped 4.3% in April to 85.9, a 10.5% decrease from a year prior. This was below expectations of a 1.9% decrease for this index. Note: Contract signings usually lead sales by about 45 to 60 days, so this would usually be for closed sales in May and June.

02-4452 USAFSOC C-32B departed McGuire AFB ws
For those that do not know these are ALWAYS followed
United States Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) operates a small number of Boeing C-32B passenger jet aircraft, providing global airlift for U.S. government crisis response activities.These may include U.S. State Department Foreign Emergency Support Teams (FEST), which deploy in response to terrorism incidents around the world.They may also fly in support of CIA Special Activities.The C-32B has been associated with the 150th Special Operations Squadron out of Joint Base McGuire, NJ (previously designated as 227th Special Operations Flight ) and the 486th Flight Test Squadron out of Elgin AFB, FL. These are highly secretive units, with little information publicly available about their activities-except when pf tracks them kek. The aircraft have been spotted in a plain white paint scheme, with minimal markings. They appear to change serial numbers many times - no doubt an attempt to keep a low profile. The aircraft are modified Boeing 757 airliners. They feature a standard seating fitment, as with a typical passenger jet. Any cargo must be stowed at the rear of the cabin as the usual cargo space in the hold has been configured to accomodate enlarged fuel tanks, extending the aircraft's unrefueled max range to 6000 nautical miles. The C-32Bs have been given an in-flight refuelling capability, via a Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (USRRSI) located atop the fuselage, 15 feet aft of the nose, along the aircraft's centerline. Other fittments to the C-32B include a satellite communications package.

Chipmaker Broadcom to buy VMware in $61 bln deal
Broadcom Inc said on Thursday it will acquire cloud computing company VMware Inc in a $61 billion cash-and stock deal, the chipmaker's biggest and boldest bid to diversify its business into enterprise software. '''The acquisition is the second biggest announced globally so far this year, trailing only Microsoft Corp's $68.7 billion deal to buy video game maker Activision Blizzard Inc-and Soros (or the entity known as) had an ass-ton of the Activision shares at the time. The offer of $142.50 in cash or 0.2520 of a Broadcom share for each VMware stock represents a premium of nearly 49% to the stock's last close before talks of the deal were first reported on May 22. Broadcom will also assume $8 billion of VMware's net debt. The chipmaker's shares were up nearly 3%, while VMware rose 2% in morning trading. Broadcom Chief Executive Hock Tan, who built his company into one of the world's biggest chipmakers through acquisitions, is now bringing his dealmaking playbook to the software sector. In one fell swoop, the deal will almost triple Broadcom's software-related revenue to about45% of its total sales.
The deal comes at a time when there is an increased push by the Biden administration for more competition in all sectors ranging from agriculture to technology. The agreement is also a coup for Dell Technologies Inc Chief Executive Michael Dell, who spun VMware out of the computer maker last year.
Michael Dell owns a 40% stake in VMware, while his financial backer Silver Lake, a private equity firm, owns 10%. They have both agreed to vote in favor of the deal.
https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/chipmaker-broadcom-buy-vmware-61-bln-deal-2022-05-26/
'''OF COURSE! at a premium of almost 50% why wouldn't you-so this is another sign of a tired market that needs the $2t support it gets every night-the scurrying around of all these deals at ridiculous premiums-same shit in the lead up to the dot com bubble being popped because they know something is coming and if they (NYFRB) stops doing all that shit through the NYFRB Ops then it will come apart.
They say they will start doing the MBS ops in reverse and actually roll them off staring on June 1st -good luck!

Stocks rally after strong outlooks from retailers
Stocks continued to rebound from the lowest levels in over a year as solid outlooks from retailers bolstered confidence in the economy despite supply-chain and inflationary pressures.
A drop in US mortgage rates by the most in more than two years also helped sentiment. Retail shares led gains in the S&P 500, which climbed in a broad-based rally. Giant Macy’s Inc. lifted its profit forecast amid demand for high-end goods. Deep-discount retailers Dollar Tree Inc. and Dollar General Corp. jumped after raising their projections-because everyone is shifting to low-cost outlets....DERP!!!!.The strong estimates from retailers provided some relief to investors after industry behemoths Walmart Inc. and Target Corp. cut their outlooks last week, sparking a selloff in consumer stocks. Traders also took some comfort from Wednesday’s Federal Reserve minutes that didn’t show an even more aggressive path being mapped to tackle elevated prices, though central banks remain steadfast in their resolve to douse inflation. “After weeks in the red, the market is trying to claw back amid the Fed’s slightly less hawkish tone yesterday and some bright spots in retail earnings,” said Mike Loewengart, managing director of investment strategy at E*Trade (the same phaggits that are having access issues right now) from Morgan Stanley. “While a resilient consumer is not a bad thing, signs of strength amid record-level inflation could cause a snag for the Fed who is banking on a slow down to tame high prices."

Q1 GDP Growth Revised down to minus 1.5% Annual Rate
Real gross domestic product (GDP) decreased at an annual rate of 1.5 percent in the first quarter of 2022 (table 1), according to the "second" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real GDP increased 6.9 percent.
The GDP estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for the "advance" estimate issued last month. In the advance estimate, the decrease in real GDP was 1.4 percent. The update primarily reflects downward revisions to private inventory investment and residential investment that were partly offset by an upward revision to consumer spending because all those maxed out credit cards (consumer credit #s is infinite right?-kek

Spectacular, Blowout 7Y Auction Stops-Through With Best Metrics Since March 2020 Covid Crisis Peak
After two solid auctions, when demand for both 2Y and 5Y paper was well above average, moments ago the Treasury concluded the week's final coupon auction when it sold $42 billion in 7Y bellybusters in what was one of the strongest "curve belly" auctions on record. The auction priced at the highly appropriate 2.777%, which was a sharp drop from last month's 2.908 and also stopped through the When Issued 2.801 by 2.4bps, the biggest stop through since the March 2020 covid crisis peak. The bid to cover surged from 2.41 in April to a whopping 2.69, also the highest since March 2020 (and naturally well above the six-auction average of 2.37).
The internals were even more remarkable: while Indirects soared to 77.86%, the second highest on record and runner up only to the 82.7% in April 2017,Directs took down a below average 15.8% which left Dealers holdings a record low 6.4% (to be expected in a world where they can't flip and sell the same bonds to the Fed making a risk-free profit).
But they've already done that to the tune of over $20B of the 2 year since last friday-see Securities Lending Ops at NYFRB today
Overall, this was a spectacular 7Y auction, and about as far from that infamous Feb 21 7Y sale as one can get. In fact, one can argue that whereas that particular auction was a consequence of fears of rising rates, today's auction was the result of the market's realization that the Fed has over-tightened (they have not but broken record here-THEY KNEW THIS IN FEB), and that a pause is coming, and as Rabobank put it today "If You Believe The Fed Will Pause Hiking Soon, Go Long Every Bond And Every Commodity You Can Find."
Someone clearly believes just that.

They are telling you they will NOT raise in Sept-THIS CONFIRMS IT-as if yesterday's action wasn't enough.
This shit is so broken and the Primary Dealers won't take it so they hand it off to everyone else who believes in the "full faith and credit BS'''
This is gonna hurt when they pull this shit out and as long as they keep doing the NYFRB Operations the markets will not crash-stop that and it's over.
I still beleive they are being forced to do that as already explained but that doesn't mean they wont try to stop and fugg it all up-plans change often and something you should have learned if you are here long enough.

After Russia’s third rate cut in two months, some air is finally coming out of the ruble
Flying under the radar for investors who are grappling with inflation and global stock corrections right now is one of the world’s best performing currencies. It just happens to be housed one of the world’s most (wrongly imo) vilified nations, and few investors may be willing to go near it, for obvious reasons.
The Russian ruble USDRUB, +7.17% has been on a relentless march higher since the lows seen after the country invaded Ukraine three months ago, and as Western nations piled on sanctions. But after breaking below 60 rubles per U.S. dollar earlier this week, a level not seen since 2018, some biggish air finally started to come out of the currency on Thursday. In its third cut since April, the Bank of Russia lowered its key interest rate to 11% from 14%, and the Russian currency was last trading down more than 6% at 64.37 per dollar. Still, that key rate remains some ways off from where it was sitting in late February, at 9.5%, before the bank was forced to jack it up to 20% to keep a lid on surging inflation. The ruble traded at a low near 158 rubles per dollar on March 7, according to FactSet. Tight capital controls, imposed shortly after the invasion to keep Russian exporters from abandoning the currency are part of the story of the ruble’s strength. The other half is high oil and gas revenues, with some EU countries setting up ruble accounts to buy Russia’s gas as the bloc struggles to get a cohesive ban on the country’s energy.
Recognizing its currency was a bit too strong, the government earlier this week lowered the percentage of foreign-currency that exporters were required to convert into rubles to 50% from 80%. A strong national currency, traditionally lines up with a strong economy, though that’s not a hard and fast rule. According to most forecasters, Russia is facing bleak economic prospects amid rising costs from the biggest land war in Europe since WWII, and as countless western businesses have turned their backs on the ~~warring~~ cleaning up decades of NATO fuggery FIFY nation.

Unless that SLV thang is them exiting the position to convert and delivery accepted via the LBMA-doubt it-that is why the price dropped-no other reason.
There is what is called EFP and that is not what the acronym suggests as if you don't actually read it you think it means 'Exchange for Physical" when it means this: An exchange for physical trade (EFP) is a privately negotiated and simultaneous exchange of a futures position for a cash position.
A payoff of already owned contracts and not what the acronym suggests-this is why it pays to read this shit before jumping to conclusions and assuming that is what it means. The third party portion of that is so the CME group circumnavigates it's own rules that make it illegal to payoff customers who try and stand for delivery.

Natural gas futures are trading higher late in the session on Thursday, but off their highs of the session. While a weak storage injection underpinned prices, causing the intra-day spike to the upside, speculators looked a little reluctant to chase the market higher without supportive weather forecasts. But they have come off those highs and are under $9 from it's peak of $9.329 about 6 hours ago-close to our close they are showing a drop from the initial spike from European trading 8.6395 -0.2475 (-2.78%)

NYFRB Operations today-the paper game vs 'cash'
'''News from May 24th-missed this and they are telling you that they will be doing moar MBS swap and Currency Swap (i/e. preparing to soak up an ASS-TON of YEN) bullshit
The New York Fed undertakes certain small value open market transactions from time to time for the purpose of testing operational readiness to implement existing and potential policy directives from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FOMC authorizes the New York Fed's Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) to conduct these exercises to test its operational readiness in the Authorization for Domestic Open Market Operations and Authorization for Foreign Currency Operations. In connection with these authorizations, the Desk intends to conduct four small value agency MBS coupon swap operations on June 2, 2022. On this day, the Desk intends to swap out of the following unsettled June To-Be-Announced (TBA) positions for other readily available MBS: 30-year UMBS 3.5 and 4.0 percent coupons and 15-year UMBS 2.5 percent coupon. Each operation will have a face value of $5 million, for a total current face value of $20 million across the four operations.

CFTC Orders Glencore to Pay $1.186 Billion for Manipulation and Corruption
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today issued an order filing and settling charges against Glencore International A.G. of Switzerland, Glencore Ltd. of New York, and Chemoil Corporation of New York (collectively, Glencore), an energy and commodities trading firm, for manipulative and deceptive conduct. The conduct, which spanned from least 2007 to 2018, involved manipulation and foreign corruption in the U.S. and global oil markets, including manipulation or attempted manipulation of four U.S. based S&P Global Platts physical oil benchmarks and related futures and swaps. Glencore is required to pay a total of $1.186 billion, which consists of the highest civil monetary penalty ($865,630,784) and highest disgorgement amount ($320,715,066) in any CFTC case. The CFTC’s order finds that Glencore’s manipulative and fraudulent conduct—including conduct relating to foreign corruption—defrauded its counterparties, harmed other market participants, and undermined the integrity of the U.S. and global physical and derivatives oil markets. Platts physical oil benchmarks, including those that were the subject of Glencore’s manipulative conduct, serve as price benchmarks for end-users and market participants, and are incorporated as reference prices for the settlement of numerous derivatives. “When individuals and entities seek to disrupt the reliability of benchmarks, they interfere with the proper functioning of the markets that directly impact consumers,” said Chairman Rostin Behnam. “Without question, manipulating oil markets can drive up the cost Americans pay at the pump or to heat their homes. And today my message to the markets is clear: the CFTC will continue to pursue even the slightest hint of manipulative, corrupt, or fraudulent behavior.”
Acting Director of Enforcement Gretchen Lowe commented, “Today’s enforcement action demonstrates that the CFTC will work with its enforcement partners around the world to ensure that the U.S. markets operate free of manipulation and corruption, and the CFTC will impose substantial and robust sanctions against those market participants who engage in such conduct.” The order finds that from as early as 2007 (try since the 1970's biotch-like since the petro-dollar introduced-see moar below) through at least 2018, Glencore sought to increase profits from its physical and derivatives oil products trading by manipulating or attempting to manipulate U.S. price-assessment benchmarks relating to physical fuel oil products, and related futures and swaps, in order to benefit Glencore’s trading positions. https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8534-22
Marc Rich, Glencore founder pardoned by Clinton, dies
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-23061802
There is not enough space to even scratch the surface here so here's what I know: Kissinger hired Rich (Marc Rich and Co. for the coming Petro-dollar (rig oil markets) because they knew they had to control the Gold and the Oil. The deal they made (backroom w/ the Saudis) was that Gold would drop when oil rose and vice-versa. This all connected to Mossad of course and then since that worked out SO well (for them) they turned him loose on the metals markets. Marc Rich & Co. was split off into Trafigura and Glencore with (Glencore public/Trafigura private). You can see how he got pardoned by Bubba in the last hours of his second term in article above. Tax evasion-bigges one ever at the time, oil deals with Iran,..it is a LONG list
moar on next post
James Comey and the Marc Rich Pardon
Bill Clinton formerly created the William J Clinton Foundation in 2001 at the end of his presidency. On January 20, 2001 – and just hours before formally leaving the presidential office for good – Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, an international commodities trader. Rich had been indicted on charges of tax evasion and illegally trading oil with Iran. It was the biggest tax evasion case in U.S. history. He was indicted on 65 counts but fled to Switzerland. The man who brought the indictment against Rich was none other than Rudy Giuliani. Rich was pardoned after his ex-wife gave over $1 million to the Democratic Party – including $100,000 to the senate campaign of Bill’s wife, Hillary Clinton – and $450,000 to the Clinton Library. The pardon also happened after senior UBS executive, Pierre de Weck, sent a letter to Clinton requesting the pardon and offering a… you guessed it…paid speech. Note that UBS has factored significantly among the Clinton Foundation donors in more recent years per Wiki Leaks. There are other long-lingering ties stemming from Rich’s pardon. Large Clinton Foundation donors Nigerian businessman Gilbert Chagoury and Russian investor Sergei Kurzin (Uranium One deal), among others, both had close ties to Rich (Kurzin had worked for Rich). The pardon was extremely controversial with even president Jimmy Carter saying there was no doubt that “some of the factors in his pardon were attributable to the large gifts”. A NY Times editorial called it a “shocking abuse of power”. Rich’s attorney, Jack Quinn, had been Vice President Al Gore’s Chief of Staff and then became White House Counsel to President Bill Clinton. Quinn also had a close relationship with Deputy Attorney General (later Attorney General) Eric Holder. It was Holder who decided the pardon petition should bypass normal procedures and be submitted directly to the White House. A Federal Prosecutor, Mary Jo White (currently Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission), was appointed to investigate President Clinton’s pardon of Rich. She ultimately stepped down from the investigation and was replaced with a man who had been a vocal critic of both Eric Holder’s pardon recommendation and the pardon itself. The man who replaced White was…Current FBI Director James Comey.
The Marc Rich pardon scandal is important on several fronts:
*It was in essence the formulation of the Clinton Foundation,it allowed the Clinton’s to recognize (and realize) their monetary power that stemmed from Bill’s presidency
*It brought many of the current players in the Clinton Foundation into the Clinton fold
The Clinton Foundation Investigation had been proceeding on a parallel track due to the exposure brought on by Peter Schweizer’s book “Clinton Cash”. Note that Comey specifically refused to comment on the Clinton Foundation when he testified before Congress. For those of you who thought the sudden release of Marc Rich’s pardon documents two days ago by the FBI was a bit strange, perhaps this all makes matters a bit more clear. The release of the Marc Rich documents was a message. The Clinton Foundation Investigation is not over.

Fast forward to today and all this market rigging still goes on they just do it with what is know as High Frequency Trading (HFT) and a large portion of this is facilitated by a Virtu Financial who is a market-maker in all WW markets-they are not the only one however they are the most brazen-see below for the 1 loss in 1,238 trading days-and that was actually in the filed paperwork for the first IPO attempt. The SEC was just gonna let that one go and the only thing that turned up the heat on them was the release of the the Michael Lewis book 'Flash Boys'-good read but it is very dry so don't expect something like the Big Short or other titles by him.
Below is article from 2021 the GME and AMC trading frenzy and they were 'defending' their position as a HFT trade-providing "deep liquidity" However if you look at just today's depth they have a serious problem see cap #5 here >>136079
High-Speed Trader Virtu Fires Back at Critics Amid Meme-Stock Frenzy
High-speed trader Virtu Financial Inc. VIRT 1.24% is pushing back against critics in Washington who say the stock market is rigged against small investors. Virtu’s business of executing individual investors’ orders is facing scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators following the surge in shares of meme stocks like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and GameStop Corp. Payment for order flow has existed for decades and has come under scrutiny before. See here >>135898 pb Nasdaq, NYSE Dealt Blow in Clash With SEC Over Market-Data Feeds-deal wif 'spoofing' "Gary" otherwise this is useless and how "Gary (worthless POS he is) is trying to deal with this by NOT addressing the kickbacks they get for order flow. But it received fresh attention after the wild volatility in GameStop shares in January. At one congressional hearing in February, Rep. Sean Casten (D., Ill.) referred to Robinhood Markets Inc.’s practice of sending orders to high-speed traders as “a conduit to feed fish to sharks.” Last week, the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, said he has asked SEC staff to explore changes to the rules governing how investors’ orders are handled. The review will include a practice known as payment for order flow, in which brokerages send many of their customers’ orders to trading firms in exchange for cash payments. Virtu’s stock sold off sharply after Mr. Gensler’s remarks.

They had some 'issues' when they tried to go public in 2014-they eventually did in 2015
How a Book Crushed the Virtu Financial IPO
It was going to be a stellar debut. The IPO roadshow was kicking off in just a few days. Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, and J.P. Morgan were lined up to take the company public in a matter of weeks. With plans to raise $250 million from investors, the IPO pegged the value of Virtu Financial at $3 billion. The little-known firm had carved out an extremely profitable niche in the financial sector. Its business is known simply as “high-frequency trading.” And it’s an incredibly profitable business. In fact, it’s so profitable that Virtu never loses money. According to the firm’s S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the firm is profitable 99.92% of the time.The SEC filing reports “As a result of our real-time risk management strategy and technology, we had only one losing trading day [out of] a total of 1,238 trading days.”Aside from a little hand-wringing, the high-frequency trading firms Michael Lewis accused of “rigging” the stock market in his groundbreaking new book, “Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt,” haven’t been tangibly impacted yet. Except one. Virtu Financial, a multinational electronic trading firm that claims to “lower costs for both retail and institutional investors,” was set to embark on its pre-IPO road show in early April. Yet immediately following the release of Flash Boys, Virtu indefinitely postponed its initial public offering. No official reason was given for the delay of the Virtu Financial IPO. But every analyst knows why: In the wake of Lewis’ book, this is not a good time for high-frequency trading (HFT) firms to be going public. The public backlash has been too great, with investors around the world expressing outrage over some of the claims made in Flash Boys. For those who aren’t familiar with the book, the premise is that high-frequency trading firms are robbing traders by using computers that are able to identify the way someone is about to trade. In doing so, they jack up the price by a penny or two before the investor is able to buy the stock. In essence, it allows traders who use sophisticated computer programs to skim profits away from traders employing simpler tools and techniques. A penny or two more doesn’t sound like much. But when it’s done millions of times per day … that adds up. “Legalized front-running” is what Lewis called this predatory trading activity in a recent “60 Minutes” feature (click here to watch the full interview). Virtu Financial is one of the firms Lewis accuses of doing this “legalized front-running.” He only mentions them by name in a footnote in the book. But that was enough to turn public sentiment against them. The Virtu Financial IPO has been indefinitely suspended out of fear that the bad publicity might result in a low valuation once the company goes public. Virtu was seeking to raise $250 million in its IPO, which would give the company a valuation of close to $3 billion. While Virtu may still go public at a later date, the company appears to be waiting for the smoke surrounding high-frequency trading to clear first. That hasn’t happened yet. KCG Holdings (NYSE: KCG), another high-frequency trading firm with shares on the New York Stock Exchange, has fallen 17% in the month since Flash Boys was released.

The founder of Virtu Financial is "Vincent" Goombah Viola and he was actually put forth as a nominee by45to be United States Secretary of the Army (but withdrawn thank god-seriously what were you thinking with that one) and he also the former Chairman of the NYMEX-that 'fine upstanding market that allows the huge drops in Ag when it opens taking thousands of contracts created out of thin-air and dumping them onto the open market. And then the CFTC Chair (Gary was that in the past) Rostin Benham-cap #5 looks the other way.
Vincent Viola
Executive Chairman since November 2013. He previously served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Virtu Financial and its predecessors since April 2008.

In addition, as our founder, Mr. Viola has successfully led Virtu since its inception and provides the board of directors with valuable insight regarding strategic decisions and the future direction of our Company.
He is the current Chairman Emeritus of Virtu
Cap #2 is an example of Goldman Sachs being observed hanging out some offers on both sides bid and ask of a small position hoping that it fools others (humans) into taking the bait so that it also triggers others to come and an play. These orders are quickly pulled because they don't want to fill them they just want to see what humans are up to and use that as a way to flush out what real orders may be waiting to be placed.
And "Gary" current SEC Chairman who was at the helm of the CFTC when they killed off the the Silver manipulation investigation and was theCFO of Hillary 2016 is gonna "fix' all of this.

Dollar sinks to one-month low amid easing Fed rate hike bets
The U.S. dollar sank to a one-month low versus major peers on Friday as traders lowered Federal Reserve rate hike expectations amid signs the central bank might slow or even pause its tightening cycle in the second half of the year. The dollar index , which measures the greenback against a basket of six major peers, fell as low as 101.43 for the first time since April 25. A rally in Asian stocks also sapped demand for the greenback as a haven.
Against the euro , the U.S. currency also slipped to the weakest since April 25 at $1.0765, and dropped to the lowest against sterling since April 26 at $1.2607. The risk-sensitive Australian dollar rallied 0.51% to $0.7136, while the New Zealand dollar jumped 0.49% to $0.6510.
The dollar index is headed for a 1.5% drop this week, following last week's 1.37% slide. That would be the first two-week decline since the turn of the year. It reached a nearly two-decade peak above 105 mid-month, but retreated amid signs that Fed tightening may already be slowing economic growth. Treasury yields have also dropped from multi-year highs, further undermining the dollar. The dollar weakened 0.3% to 126.69 yen, sliding gradually over the past three weeks from a two-decade high of 131.35.
