The US dollar was on the defensive Thursday after suffering its worst drubbing in five months, as the biggest slump in Chinese stocks in almost two years took the shine off another record high in the global bull run. The near 3 per cent drop in China came as its recent bond markets worries bled into equities and added to Europe's subdued mood as its main bourses opened in the red for the 10th day in the last 13.
