A snapshot of the strongest and weakest as the day comes to an end

JPY is the strongest. GBP is the weakest
US 2Q productivity was weaker than expectations at -0.5% vs +0.4% expectations and that helped give the US dollar a softer tone in trading today. This was despite better data from wholesale sales which were stronger at 1.9% and wholesale inventories which increased by 0.3%.  Despite the gains in inventories the Atlanta Fed GDP now estimate dipped slightly to 3.7% from 3.8%.   Bond yields were lower in trading today after a few days of gains on the back of the stronger US employment on Friday.
