Dollar falls after U.S. Treasury yields drop

Swiss franc climbs to all-time high against greenback

By Lisa Twaronite and Greg Morcroft, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The dollar fell Friday after U.S. Treasury yields dropped, leading Asian investors to sell the greenback.

Investors are also eyeing U.S. economic data, on personal incomes and spending as well as on pending home sales.

The yield on 10-year Treasury notes dropped as far as 3.05%, the lowest level for the benchmark security since Dec. 7. It underscored market perceptions that the U.S. economic recovery’s hit a slow patch.

The dollar index DXY -0.63% , which measures the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, fell lately to 75.06, down from 75.598 late Thursday.

Despite lingering fears about European sovereign-debt woes, particularly those of Greece, the euro EURUSD +0.9056% nudged up to $1.4232, up from $1.4128 in late North American trading Thursday. See real-time currency quotes and tools.

“We expect there to be political will to find sufficient measures to close the funding gap, enable a disbursement of aid, and avoid an early default,” said Sue Trinh at RBC Capital Markets in reference to Greece.

“The realization of such could see a further squeeze” in the euro, she said in a note to clients. “Until then, choppy trade will persist; note that liquidity will be thinned” by U.K. and U.S. market holidays on May 30, she said.

Also Friday, the dollar hit an all-time low against the Swiss franc, falling to 85.34 centimes on the EBS trading platform, and was last buying 85.77 centimes, down 0.9%.

Against the Japanese yen, the dollarUSDYEN -0.26% bought ¥81.07, down from ¥81.33 late Thursday.

Currency markets mostly shrugged off data showing Japan’s core consumer price index rose in April for the first time in more than year.

CPI rose 0.6% from the same month a year ago, matching the median forecast in a poll of 12 economists surveyed by Dow Jones and Nikkei. Core CPI excludes fresh food, but includes energy.

Rounding out trading in the dollar, the British pound GBPUSD +0.2197% rose to $1.6425 from $1.6385 late Thursday as the Australian dollar AUDUSD +0.4609% reached $1.0684 from $1.0630.

Gold May Gain as Europe’s Debt Crisis Spurs Demand, Survey Shows

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-26/gold-may-gain-as-europe-s-debt-crisis-spurs-demand-survey-shows.htmlBy Nicholas Larkin - May 27, 2011 7:01 AM GMT+0800

Gold may gain as concern about Europe’s debt crisis boosts demand for the metal as a protection of wealth, a survey found.

Seventeen of 19 traders, investors and analysts surveyed by Bloomberg, or 89 percent, said bullion will rise next week. One predicted lower prices and one was neutral. Gold for August delivery was up 0.8 percent for this week at $1,520.40 an ounce by 10:24 a.m. yesterday on the Comex in New York. It reached a record of $1,577.40 on May 2.

European policy makers are seeking ways to restore investor confidence on increasing concern that Greece won’t be able to repay its debts after last year’s 110 billion euro ($155 billion) bailout. The region’s crisis helped drive gold priced in euros and British pounds to records this week.

“Euro zone debt concerns are now front and center,” said Edel Tully, a London-based analyst at UBS AG in London. “Gold should remain supported in the near term.”

The attached chart tracks the results of the Bloomberg survey, with the red bars derived by subtracting bearish forecasts from bullish estimates. Readings below zero signal that most respondents expect a decline. The green line shows the gold price. The data are as of May 20.

The weekly gold survey, which started seven years ago, has forecast prices accurately in 209 of 364 weeks, or 57 percent of the time.

This week’s survey results: Bullish: 17 Bearish: 1 Neutral: 1
