The dollar index (DXY00) today is up by +0.09%. The dollar today recovered from an 8-week low and is moderately higher as a slump in stocks has boosted liquidity demand for the dollar. Gains in the dollar are limited after the US Apr JOLTS job openings fell more than expected to a 3-year low, a dovish factor for Fed policy.
The US Apr JOLTS job openings fell -296,000 to a 3-year low of 8.059 million, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of 8.350 million.
