Today in quiet trading, the dollar fell against the world's currencies as reduced expectations the Federal Reserve raising interest rates before the end of the year continue to put pressure on the US currency. Trading volumes are expected to remain low today as US markets are closed in observance of Columbus Day.

Minutes of the Fed's September meeting released on Thursday showed that the majority of members of the leadership is inclined to raise rates this year, while the financial market turmoil "is not significantly affected" the prospects for the US economy.

However, the minutes also noted that the recent economic and financial developments in the world, is likely to increase the risk for the US economy.

Protocols reinforced expectations that US interest rates are likely to remain at current levels until 2016.

Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said Sunday that the US central bank chose a cautious approach to the issue of raising interest rates, given the events abroad, as well as the impact of higher interest rates in emerging markets and other countries.

Many economists believe that the Fed will raise interest rates in September. However, economic instability outside the United States has forced the central bank to refrain from raising. Since Fed officials have stated that it is still planning to raise rates before the end of the year. The prospect of continued low interest rates for a long time put pressure on the dollar, as higher borrowing costs will make the US currency more attractive for investors seeking yield.

The president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Dennis Lockhart on Monday reiterated that he expects the US central bank will raise short-term interest rates this year.

However, he also warned that since the coming economic and financial news to influence Fed decisions taken by the leadership, the situation may change.

Little support for the euro had earlier statement by the representative of the ECB Ker. He noted that it is too early to take a decision to expand QE. In focus were also comments of the International Monetary Fund. Recall, the IMF stated that the forecast deterioration in opportunities for economic growth in the world economy in the medium term. "The global economic recovery continues, but growth remains modest and uneven. Global risks of economic growth increased despite the efforts of developed countries to overcome the crisis, as many developing economies are experiencing tighter financing conditions, reduced capital inflows and currency pressure due to the high currency indebtedness of the private sector, "- said the IMF.

Investors also await the publication of the German ZEW index for October, which is an early indicator of economic and business expectations. This index is likely to show that the trust company was undermined by concerns around China, as well as the scandal with Volkswagen.

The pound strengthened against the dollar, returning almost all the positions lost on Friday. Investors are waiting for the publication of data on inflation in Britain. It is expected that consumer prices in September remained at zero for the second month in a row. Extremely low commodity prices in the international markets and the strengthening of the British pound, which leads to a reduction in price of imported goods, since the beginning of the year to keep inflation at a level close to zero. According to the latest forecasts of the Bank of England, consumer price inflation will begin only next spring.

Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said on Monday that the interest rate hike should be very gradual when the Fed will start raising its interest rates.

"After lift-off, I think it would be appropriate to raise the target interest rate very gradually. This would give us sufficient time to assess how the economy is adjusting to higher rates and the progress we are making toward our policy goals," he said.

"And right now, regardless of the exact date for lift-off, I think it could well be appropriate for the funds rate to still be under 1 percent at the end of 2016," Evans added.

Chicago Fed president noted that he is not confident if the inflation target in the U.S. will be reached "within a reasonable time frame".

The European Commission said in its statement on Monday that Spain will not meet its deficit targets. According to the Spanish Draft Budgetary Plan (DBP), Spain expects the general government deficit to fall to 4.2% of GDP this year and 2.8% in 2016. But the European Commission forecasted that the government deficit to decline to 4.5% this year and to 3.5% of GDP in 2016.

The European Commission said that Spain should "ensure that the 2016 budget will be compliant with the Stability and Growth Pact".

The European Central Bank (ECB) purchased €12.46 billion of government and agency bonds under its quantitative-easing program last week.

The ECB said in its minutes of September meeting last week that it will raise the pace of its asset purchases from September to November 2015 "to prepare for the expected decline in market liquidity in December".

ECB'S asset buying programme is intended to run to September 2016.

The ECB bought €1.82 billion of covered bonds, and €244 million of asset-backed securities.

The European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council Member Vitas Vasiliauskas said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Saturday that there is no need for further stimulus measures in the Eurozone.

"I feel in your questions and market sentiments, everybody is asking, what you will do additionally. My message is very clear: There is no need for any additional measures," he said.

Vasiliauskas added that the asset-buying programme was working.

He pointed out that low inflation in the Eurozone's is driven by a decline in energy prices.
