Job openings, as measured by its monthly survey, fell in May, to a level of 11.254 million that is still high by historical comparison.,The job openings data came ahead of Friday’s more important June non-farm payrolls report, which is expected to show a smaller jobs growth compared with May. Economists say some 268,000 payrolls were probably added last month - versus the 390,000 in May - holding unemployment at 3.6% for a third straight month. A jobless rate of 4% or below is seen by the Federal Reserve as full employment.,“While our view remains that higher consumer prices are required to balance the oil market this summer, we acknowledge that significant and large shocks continue to distort fundamentals,” Goldman Sachs said in an energy market outlook.,Blockage of Russian Bond Payments to Erode Dollar Dominance, French Economist Says27 June, 15:29 GMT,A rocketing dollar ahead of more rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, or Fed, has also shaken the roots of the energy rally seen since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February and the resulting sanctions on Moscow.,The Dollar Index, which pits the greenback against six major currencies, continued its ascent from overnight, leaping to above 107, its highest since December 2002.

The Commerce Department officially reported a 1.6% economic contraction in the first quarter.,The Federal Reserve, in minutes of its June policy meeting released on Wednesday, said it saw a real danger of high inflation becoming entrenched in the US economy and the only way to balance runaway prices with growth was to have appropriate interest rate hikes.,The central bank is expected to push ahead with another three-quarter percentage point interest rates hike this month, potentially taking key lending rates to between 2.25% and 2.5% range from the 0 - 0.25% range they stood at in February.。    据都市快报报道，1月9日下午3点50分左右，日本兵库县，两名中国女游客在铁路道口等红绿灯时遭列车撞击身亡。一男子发现两名女子重伤倒地后报警，其中一女子当场身亡，另一女子送医后身亡。警方在两人的随身物品中发现中国护照，分别为24岁的杨某和23岁的张某。调查发现，事故发生前，被撞的两名女性站在公路和铁路平交道口已放下的禁止通行护栏处。日本警方推测，两人或误以为铁轨内是“信号灯等待区”。事发地点列车司机说：“我看不到她们，因为她们在铁路道口的电线杆后面，被电线杆挡住了。”警方将继续调查当时发生的详细情况。事故发生后，山阳电铁从霞丘至山阳明石之间停运了约1小时40分钟。据日本媒体报道，自2009年以来，同样的地点已经发生过4起类似事故。有媒体报道称，虽然铁道口有紧急按钮，但位置隐蔽，且没有多语言标示，外国游客很难发现。另外，据上海电视台综合频道《新闻坊》记者最新消息，通过入境时的指纹对比，两位中国姑娘的身份已经被确认，正在联系家属。发生事故的神户市垂水区路段，情况复杂是当地民众公认的危险地带。要穿过2条铁道线，在铁道与公路之间的“隔离区”等红绿灯过斑马线才能抵达对面，事故就发生在这个隔离区。这个隔离区不仅特别窄还是个斜坡，也就成年人的两肩那么宽，推自行车的话，前轮都要进入斑马线。因为过于危险，有警告牌写着禁止小学生穿越这条路，可以走西舞子车站的地下通道，有些绕道，需要多走10到15分钟。当地居民都知道在这个铁路线外侧，又窄又陡的隔离区等红绿灯很危险，感觉早晚要出事，但没想到会是在铁路线内侧发生这么严重的人身事故。根据电车司机的证词，发生碰撞时，两人是站在铁路线区域内，面朝公路方向，应该是等红绿灯要过马路。（来源：都市快报、新闻坊）更多精彩资讯请在应用市场下载“极目新闻”客户端，未经授权请勿转载，欢迎提供新闻线索，一经采纳即付报酬。24小时报料热线027-86777777。
