FOREX-Dollar recovers from PMI slump, yen closes in on 155 per dollar
The U.S. dollar regained some lost ground on Wednesday following big falls against the euro and sterling the day before, while the yen remained mired near 34-year lows even as Japanese officials stepped up intervention warnings. The dollar index - which measures the currency against six major peers including the euro, sterling and yen - was last up 0.2% at 105.85 after earlier touching the lowest since April 12 at 105.59. It slumped 0.4% on Tuesday, driven by surprisingly robust European activity data and cooling U.S. business growth.

A Greek lawmaker faces criminal charges following a brawl in parliament
Greece’s parliamentary speaker said that he would seek criminal charges against a lawmaker who allegedly punched a colleague during a debate on Wednesday. The member of parliament, who hasn't been named, was suspended for 15 days after the fight, which occurred just outside the debate chamber and was witnessed by several colleagues. “We can indict the perpetrator of this vile and barbaric attack, to charge him with a felony under a fast-track procedure,” Speaker Constantine Tassoulas said.
