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.

    Been using Single Bet Calculator for about four months now, usually on the train home, so make of that what you will. Found it through a Reddit thread, not an ad.

    The slots side is pretty big — a bit over 3,500 games last time I counted. Play’n GO is everywhere, so Gates of Olympus and all the standards are present and correct. I mostly stick to Yggdrasil stuff out of pure habit. One gripe — Single Bet Calculator’s search bar is genuinely poor, I usually just scroll and hope.

    Live tables are powered by Evolution, which is fine by me. Actual dealers, the stream holds up on 4G, and Crazy Time is where I lose most of my money, honestly. Worth saying the British side is well covered from about 6pm onwards. If you’re weighing up the promos have a look over on https://knolle.at/yankee-bet-calculator-guide-maximise-profits-and-stay-safe-for-uk-punters since the offers shift about.

    Welcome offer on Single Bet Calculator is 100% up to ?200 plus 100 free spins. Wagering is 30x which is standard-ish. They also ran a small no deposit thing when I registered. ?10 minimum, same as everywhere, registration was quick, ID check was same-day.

    Cashouts have been fine. Visa and Mastercard are the slow ones, Skrill and Neteller were same-day for me, and Bitcoin clears fastest. Cashed out ?340 last week with no drama. Single Bet Calculator’s support took ten minutes once, three another time — human, not a bot script. Properly licensed for UK players, which matters more than the bonus size. App-wise there’s nothing, which is mildly annoying but the site works fine.

    Been signed up at Single Bet Calculator since around February, mostly on my phone, so make of that what you will. Found it through a mate, not an ad.

    The slots side is frankly enormous — roughly 4,000 slots last time I counted. Play’n GO takes up most of the space, so Sweet Bonanza and the rest of the greatest hits are present and correct. Personally I mainly play Big Time Gaming megaways because the volatility suits me. Small annoyance — the search function on Single Bet Calculator is a bit rubbish, filters half work.

    Live section is powered by Evolution, which is fine by me. Real croupiers, the stream holds up on 4G, and the game shows like Crazy Time pulls a big crowd most evenings. Fair to note the UK side is well covered in the evenings. If you want to compare the current terms have a look at free single bet calculator instead of trusting a random forum post.

    The sign-up deal on Single Bet Calculator is a 100% match to ?150 with 50 spins. Rollover is 30x which is about par these days. I also got 20 no deposit spins on verification. Minimum is a tenner, the form was short enough, verification took about 24 hours.

    Withdrawals have been fine. Debit card are the slow ones, e-wallets came through in under 12 hours, and crypto is quickest if you use it. Took out about ?250 recently no silly document requests. Single Bet Calculator’s support was on me within five minutes — human, not a bot script. Licence is UKGC, so at least there’s a complaints route. There’s no app on the Play Store, the browser version does the job.

    I’ve been on Single Bet Calculator since the spring, mainly on mobile, so take this for what it’s worth. Stumbled on it after a mate mentioned it, not an ad.

    The lobby is pretty big — a bit over 3,500 titles last time I counted. Play’n GO stuff dominates, so Sweet Bonanza and all the standards are all there. I mostly stick to Play’n GO titles because the volatility suits me. One gripe — the search function on Single Bet Calculator is a bit rubbish, I usually just scroll and hope.

    The live dealer bit is almost entirely Evolution, no complaints there. Real croupiers, decent stream quality, and Crazy Time is where I lose most of my money, honestly. Fair to note the UK side is well covered in the evenings. If you’re weighing up the promos have a look over on single bet return calculator instead of trusting a random forum post.

    Welcome offer from Single Bet Calculator came as ?100 matched plus 100 spins on Book of Dead. Rollover is 30x which is about par these days. I also got a ?5 no deposit token on verification. Minimum is a tenner, sign-up took me maybe five minutes, KYC took a day.

    Payouts are decent. Visa and Mastercard land in a couple of days, e-wallets were same-day for me, and Bitcoin is quickest if you use it. Cashed out ?340 last week and it landed early. The live chat on Single Bet Calculator answered in about four minutes — copy-paste at first but fine after. They’re UKGC licensed, which matters more than the bonus size. There’s no app on the Play Store, just the mobile site.
