PMI data from European and American countries is coming today.

Market Review

On Monday, the minutes from the Federal Reserve's May meeting indicated that several officials suggested further tightening of policies if necessary. The long-term neutral interest rate could be higher than previously expected. Officials discussed the necessity of maintaining rates unchanged for an extended period, especially if the labor market weakens.

Some officials noted the risk of excessively loose financial conditions. Following the release of the minutes, traders reduced their bets on multiple rate cuts by the Fed this year. The hawkish nature of the minutes led to a rebound in the dollar index to a weekly high, approaching the 105 mark, and it eventually closed at 104.94.
