The US Dollar Index stays below 106.00 after the data.
The number of job openings on the last business day of May stood at 8.14 million, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported in the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) on Tuesday. This reading followed the 7.9 million (revised from 8.05 million) openings reported in April and came in above the market expectation of 7.9 million.
"Over the month, both the number of hires and total separations were little changed at 5.8 million and 5.4 million, respectively," the BLS noted in its publication. "Within separations, quits (3.5 million) and layoffs and discharges (1.7 million) changed little."
