0627 GMT - The U.S. dollar declines alongside a fall in Treasury yields, driven by lower oil prices and no urgency by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. New York Fed President John Williams signaled in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday that he doesn't see any urgency to raise interest rates to respond to persistent inflation. Adding to that, U.S. ADP private payrolls figures were weak. U.S. money markets now price a 59% probability of a rate hike this month, down from nearly 70% on Wednesday, LSEG data showed. The DXY index, which measures the dollar against a basket of currencies, falls 0.2% to a 6-day low of 99.349, having hit a near three-week high of 99.863 on Wednesday.
