The dollar remained broadly higher against the other major currencies on Thursday, despite the release of disappointing U.S. jobless claims data as investors turned their attention to former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony to a Senate committee.

Mr. Comey began his testimony by saying that, while he understood he “could be fired by a president for any reason or no reason at all,” he was confused and concerned by the White House’s shifting explanations of his firing. EUR/USD slid 0.33% to 1.1218 after the European Central Bank cuts its forecast for inflation this year to 1.5%, down from 1.7% in March. The forecast came after the central bank left interest rates unchanged in a widely expected move. In the U.S., the Department of Labor said initial jobless claims in the week ending June 3 decreased by 10,000 to 245,000 from the previous week’s total of 255,000. Analysts expected jobless claims to fall by 15,000 to 240,000 last week. GBP/USD fell 0.28% to 1.2923. Polls on the eve of the U.K. election indicated that Prime Minister Theresa May will win the vote and increase her parliamentary majority. USD/JPY gained 0.34% to 110.19, while USD/CHF rose 0.25% to trade at 0.9679. The Australian dollar was lower, with AUD/USD down 0.11% at 0.7543, while NZD/USD gained 0.29% to 0.7217. The Australian Bureau of Statistics earlier reported that the trade surplus narrowed to A$0.555 billion in April from A$3.169 billion in March, whose figure was revised from a previously estimated surplus of A$3.107 billion. Analysts had expected the trade surplus to narrow to A$1.950 billion in April. A separate report showed that China’s exports rose by an annualized rate of 8.7% in May, exceeding expectations for a 7.0% climb, while imports jumped 14.8%, blowing past projections for an increase of 8.5%. China is Australia’s biggest export partner. Meanwhile, USD/CAD held steady at 1.3501. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, was up 0.32% at 96.98, the highest since June 2.

    Gioco su queste piattaforme da qualche mese e diciamocelo la ruota mi ha portato piu momenti buoni di quanto pensassi. Non sono uno da puntate folli, in genere metto un paio di euro a spin e tanto basta. La sezione giochi su Crazy Time e ben fornito: fra le 2000 e rotti slot varie se conti Pragmatic, Yggdrasil e NetEnt, per cui i titoli grossi come Book of Dead e Gates of Olympus sono li al loro posto.

    Il comparto live e roba di Evolution e la qualita si nota. Dealer in carne e ossa, con qualche tavolo italiano nelle ore di punta, e i vari game show sono quelli dove butto quasi tutte le serate. Ogni tanto do un’occhiata a le stats dei bonus prima di iniziare, piu che altro per scaramanzia.

    L’offerta di benvenuto proposta da Crazy Time adesso e del 150% fino a 400€ piu 150 free spin, distribuiti su piu giorni. Ti danno anche una decina di euro senza deposito una volta caricato il documento. Il wagering sta a 35x, nella media insomma, per cui occhio ai termini: si trovano i dettagli aggiornati direttamente su Crazy Time prima di registrarti.

    Sui prelievi va abbastanza bene. Ho usato Skrill e i soldi arrivano in 12-24 ore, con la carta serve 3 giorni buoni. Prendono pure le crypto, che pero non ho testato. Il minimo per depositare 10 euro, l’iscrizione rapida. Quello che proprio non mi e piaciuto e stato il KYC: prima foto rifiutata senza spiegazioni per una sciocchezza.

    La chat di assistenza su Crazy Time risponde in italiano il che non e scontato, pero dopo mezzanotte ci vuole pazienza. Da cellulare il sito va bene dal browser, l’applicazione su Android esiste ma e ancora acerba. Sulla licenza Malta Gaming Authority, quindi non e concessione italiana, e va saputo prima. Io intanto vado avanti, senza troppe pretese.
