NSO Group has blocked some of its government clients abroad from using its spyware as it examines allegations of misuse, according to a US report Thursday.

“There is an investigation into some clients. Some of those clients have been temporarily suspended,” a NSO employee was quoted saying by National Public Radio.

The source did not specify which countries or how many, saying NSO was barred under defense regulations from identifying its clients.

The Israel-based company has repeatedly been accused of selling its Pegasus spyware to repressive countries that use it to target journalists, activists and politicians.

The unnamed employee also would not comment on any possible misuse that the firm has uncovered in an internal probe.

“Almost everything we checked, we found no connection to Pegasus,” the source said.

NSO’s general counsel also commented on the company’s investigation.

“What we are doing is, what I think today is, the best standard that can be done,” Shmuel Sunray told NPR. “We’re on the one hand, I think, the world leaders in our human rights compliance, and the other hand we’re the poster child of human rights abuse.”

The dollar languished near a one-month low on Friday and was set for its worst weekly performance since May as dovish remarks by the U.S. Federal Reserve together with underwhelming economic data took the steam out of a month-long rally.

The dollar index, which measures the greenbackagainst a basket of six other currencies, was last at 91.853, a level not seen since June 29.

For the week, the index is off 1.1%, its worst weekly showing since early May. For the month, the index is down 0.5% so far, following a 2.8% rally in June.

The dollar’s downtrend began after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell wrong-footed bulls following a policy meeting this week by saying that rate increases were “a ways away” and the job market still had “some ground to cover”.

“While the Fed continued to say it was moving towards winding back its money printing program, the Fed’s move towards this shift looks likely to be slower than previously anticipated,” said Steven Dooley, currency strategist at Western Union Business Solutions.

“The Fed’s caution is seen due to a slowdown in U.S. growth, easing in inflation and worries about the Delta variant,” Dooley added.

The dollar found little support overnight from U.S. gross domestic product numbers.

While the U.S. economy expanded at a 6.5% annualised rate in the second quarter, boosted by massive government aid, growth fell short of economists’ expectations for an 8.5% acceleration.

The dollar held near a two-week low against the safe haven Japanese yen at 109.52.

The euro climbed to a one-month high against the dollar to be last at $1.18955 ahead of preliminary second quarter gross domestic product data for the euro area as well as preliminary July inflation prints for France, Italy and the euro area. The euro area also gets June unemployment data.

The German economy returned to growth in the second quarter but bounced back less strongly than expected, as coronavirus-related restrictions were eased and households started spending again, data showed on Friday.

“In general, the eurozone’s rebound from its technical recession should not be a game changer for the ECB (European Central Bank) expectations or for the euro, and the short-term fate of euro/dollar still looks mostly tied to the U.S. dollar and global dynamics,” ING strategists said in a note. “Fresh signs of turbulence from Asia suggest that it may be too early to see euro/dollar break back above $1.19.”

The British pound hovered near its highest in over a month helped by the U.S. dollar’s weaker tone and a fall in coronavirus cases in Britain.

Investors will keep a close eye on a bunch of U.S. macro indicators due later in the day including second-quarter employment cost index, personal income and spending for June and the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index for July.

German economy returned to growth in the second quarter but bounced back less strongly than expected amid supply chain bottlenecks that are hitting industry, data showed on Friday.

Europe’s largest economy grew by 1.5% quarter on quarter, compared with a revised contraction of 2.1% in the first quarter, and by 9.2% on the year, the Federal Statistics Office said.

A poll had forecast increases of 2.0% and 9.6% respectively. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, the last pre-pandemic period, gross domestic product (GDP) was still down 3.4%, the Statistics Office said.

“Growth is decent, but it could have been stronger if it wasn’t for shortages of materials,” VP Bank Group Chief Economist Thomas Gitzel said. Supply chain worries and reports on virus infections have dampened the outlook for the economy. A survey showed on Monday that German business morale fell unexpectedly in July, the first decline since January.
