•  The dollar weakened as U.S. jobless claims rose for a second week, signaling a softening labor market amid growing tariff-related pressures.

• The latest jobless claims data won't impact the U.S. Labor Department’s May employment report, set for release Friday, as they fall outside the survey period.
