Dow Jones
Yesterday
0641 GMT - The dollar eases after reaching a two-month high Tuesday after softer-than-anticipated data and Federal Reserve speeches lowered expectations for U.S. interest-rate rises. Job openings fell by more than expected to 7.08 million in August, according to the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. The Conference Board's consumer confidence index also fell more than anticipated to 81.9 in September from 88.6 in August. New York Fed President John Williams suggested the Fed shouldn't rush to raise rates further. Markets price a 44% chance of the Fed raising rates further in October compared to 73% Tuesday, LSEG data show. The DXY dollar index falls 0.1% to 101.239 after rising as high as 101.612 Tuesday.
