Hi

22 June-U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) was mixed across the board as an unexpectedly large gain in Philadelphia area factory output in June provided a momentary boost to the dollar, which has closely tracked bond yields in recent weeks, but the greenback eased as U.S. Treasury yields failed to hold gains. The dollar did end the session relatively unchanged as it surrendered its gains following the highest reading of growth on a regional U.S. economic indicator since April 2005. In U.S. share markets the NASDAQ was up 17 points (+0.65%) whilst the Dow Jones was also up by 56.42 points (+0.42%). Crude oil fell by US$0.26 a barrel to $68.60.
