a weak performance on Wall Street, and global bond yields
dropped on creeping doubts on the strength of the U.S. economic

    * The New Zealand dollar hovered at its highest in nearly
three years early on Friday, having taken on a starring role in
a subdued currency market as investors sought higher-yielding

    * Crude oil on both sides of the Atlantic fell on Thursday
as fears eased over export disruptions from war-ravaged Iraq,
allowing market participants to take some profit off the table.

    * U.S. Treasuries yields dropped on Thursday as traders
eyeing a possible slowing of American economic growth drove up
prices for a fourth straight day.
