> The dollar index fell 0.38% to 102.92 after data showed US consumer spending rose 0.1% in May and PCE inflation slowed to 3.8% annually. The yen briefly weakened past 145 per dollar. Markets still priced in an 84% chance of a Federal Reserve hike in July.

## Why it matters

Softer inflation data slightly reduces the chance of further Fed tightening, which can ease pressure on the dollar and support dollar-priced commodities. The effect is modest because markets still expect a hike.
