The U.S. dollar index fell again on continued euro strength that was driven by more successful bond auctions and hawkish words from European Central Bank chief Jean-Claude Trichet.

 

Treasuries remained higher after today’s $13 billion 30-year note auction sold at a high yield of 4.515% with bid to cover of 2.67.
