10:30 ET - The British pound's post election surge is weighing on the US dollar. The ICE Dollar Index, which measures the US currency against a basket of six others, was recently down 0.3% at 97.09, approaching its lowest level since July. The weakness was mostly due to losses against the pound, which was recently up 1.3% on bets that a large Conservative majority would ensure a smooth, orderly Brexit. In fixed income, yields on the benchmark US 10-year Treasury note were little changed at 1.884%. (ira.iosebashvili@wsj.com)
