The U.S. Labor Department will probably say today companies added 165,000 positions last month after increasing them by 175,000 in May, according to the median estimate by economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.

The euro and pound slid after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney signaled they will keep borrowing costs at record lows. Draghi said yesterday in Frankfurt the central bank planned to keep the euro area’s main refinancing rate at a record-low 0.5 percent or even lower for an “extended period” and that it was injecting a “downward bias in interest rates for the foreseeable future.” The BOE said in a statement yesterday in London the “implied rise in the expected future path of bank rate was not warranted by the recent developments in the domestic economy” after officials left the bank’s benchmark rate and bond-purchase program unchanged. The policy meeting was the first one led by Carney.
