The dollar index fell 0.19% as a stock rally reduced liquidity demand for the greenback and benign inflation data eased Fed tightening fears. The May core PCE price index rose 3.4% year-over-year, matching expectations and marking the fastest pace in two and a half years. Stronger US economic data limited losses, with Q1 GDP revised up to 2.1%, weekly jobless claims dropping to 215,000, and personal spending and income both rising 0.7% month-over-month. The euro edged up 0.10% against the dollar, while the yen was nearly flat after recovering from a 39-year low, supported by hawkish BOJ comments and lower Treasury yields. August COMEX gold gained 25.90 dollars, or 0.65%, while July silver slipped 0.312 dollars, or 0.54%, as metals consolidated recent losses amid a weaker dollar and lower bond yields.
