Dollar, Euro, and Yen: The dollar rose to its highest levels against the yen after inflation data showed consumer prices rose 0.3% in June. US Stock Futures: S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures declined as risk appetite weakened due to inflationary pressures and tariff concerns. Gold: Gold recovered as the dollar weakened slightly, rising about 0.5%, supported by lower bond yields. Oil: Oil held steady near $69 a barrel amid seasonal demand fluctuations. |
