May 22 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar fell to a four-month low against the euro after Eric Rosengren, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, said the U.S. recovery may be ?oslow? and Standard & Poor?Ts threat to strip Britain?Ts AAA debt rating stoked concern about downgrades.

Stocks in Europe erased declines from earlier in the day as commodity producers climbed with oil and metals. U.S. futures rose after Sears Holdings Corp. reported an unexpected profit. Asian stocks fell after Lenovo Group Ltd. posted a wider-than- estimated loss.

The dollar fell 0.5 percent against the euro and 0.3 percent to the lowest in nine weeks versus the yen as of 9:45 a.m. in London. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 0.3 percent and Europê?Ts Stoxx 600 Index was little changed, up less than 0.1 percent. Futures on the Standard & Poor?Ts 500 Index gained 0.6 percent.

The pound weakened against all major currencies after S&P lowered the outlook on the U.K.?Ts AAA rating yesterday to ?onegativê? from ?ostable,? citing the nation?Ts slowing economy and growing debt burden. Governments around the world are selling more bonds than ever to battle the worst recession since World War II. The U.S. Treasury will auction about $101 billion of securities next week.

?oSpeculation has increased that the U.S. could potentially face a credit rating downgrade and in doing so, lose its AAA rating,? Lee Hardman, a foreign-exchange strategist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd., wrote in an e-mailed report today. Investors in U.S. assets may face a ?otriple whammy of falling U.S. equities, U.S. government debt and the dollar,? he said.

Oil, Copper

Crude oil for July delivery rose 31 cents to $61.36 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 9:32 a.m. Wholesale gasoline futures for June were up 0.5 percent at $1.8087 a gallon. Memorial Day on May 25 marks the start of the U.S. summer driving season and some 32 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles from home over the three-day holiday weekend, according to the AAA motoring organization.

Copper for delivery in three months rose 2 percent to $4,560 a metric ton on the London Metal Exchange after China, the world?Ts biggest consumer, said imports increased 7 percent last month.

Treasuries rose, with the yield on the 10-year note falling three basis points to 3.34 percent, as investors sought the safety of U.S. assets. Rosengren said in a speech in Worcester, Massachusetts, yesterday that ?oa rather slow recovery is likely? this year.

The difference in yield between two- and 10-year notes was 248 basis points, near the widest level since November. The dollar fell 0.4 percent against the euro and 0.3 percent versus the yen.

Gross Concern

?oThe markets are beginning to anticipate the possibility of? a downgrade to the U.S.?Ts top rating, though ?oit?Ts certainly nothing that?Ts going to happen overnight,? Bill Gross, the co-chief investment officer of Newport Beach, California-based Pacific Investment Management Co., said in an interview on Bloomberg Television yesterday. The firm manages the world?Ts biggest bond fund, the $150 billion Pimco Total Return Fund.
