Yen Hits 38-Year Low Against Dollar: The yen plummeted to a 38-year low against the US dollar and a record low versus the euro on Wednesday. This decline continues as market participants anticipate possible Japanese intervention to support the currency.
Dollar Declines on Weak US Data: The dollar fell following softer-than-expected US economic data. The dollar index dropped 0.5% to 105.11, reaching a three-week low earlier in the session.
US Treasury Yields Fall Amid Weak Data: The 10-year US Treasury yield decreased again on Wednesday due to weak economic data. The yield dropped over 8 basis points to 4.352%.
Crude Oil Prices Rise on Demand Signals: Crude oil futures increased by over 1% on Wednesday as a significant drop in US stockpiles indicated rising demand ahead of the Fourth of July. The WTI August contract rose to $83.88 per barrel, up 1.29%, and the Brent September contract increased to $87.34 per barrel, up 1.28%.
Gold Prices Increase on Rate Cut Bets: Gold prices rose over 1% to a near two-week high on Wednesday. This increase was driven by heightened expectations for a September interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve following data suggesting a weakening labour market.
