The dollar consolidated against the euro while remaining near the level of opening of the session, due to the uncertain prospects of higher interest rates the Fed in the coming months. Experts point out that market participants are likely to continue to exercise caution until next week, when a meeting of the Fed's monetary policy. Yesterday, Fed Chairman Janet Yellen said that a gradual rise in interest rates in the United States possible while maintaining good macroeconomic indicators. However, she did not say anything about the timing of such an increase. In late May, Yellen mentioned the likelihood of higher interest rates "in the coming months", but in yesterday's speech such temporary signs were absent. The Fed chief added that investors should not place too much focus on the weak statistics on the labor market. "If the situation on the market labor improves, inflation close to the target level, it would be appropriate to raise rates gradually if inflation remains low, the Fed can only take limited measures to stimulate in the background of almost zero interest rates loose monetary policy remains appropriate..", - He explained Yellen. Investors expect that next week the Fed will keep rates unchanged, and many continue to believe that at the meeting in July, rates will remain at the same level. Futures on interest rates Fed indicate that the probability of a rate hike of 2% in June. The chances of an increase in rates are estimated at 23% in July.

A slight effect on the dollar was data indicated that labor productivity in the US non-agricultural sector decreased by 0.6 percent during the first quarter.

Unit labor costs in the non-agricultural sector increased by 4.5 percent in the first quarter, an increase of 3.9 per cent decrease in hourly compensation and productivity by 0.6 percent. Unit labor costs increased by 3.0 per cent over the past four quarters.

The British pound lost some of the previously-earned positions against the dollar, but still shows a significant increase. The main support for the currency have had results of a survey which showed that a somewhat larger number of respondents want Britain to remain in the EU. According to the poll Times / YouGov, for the preservation of EU membership voted 43% of respondents, with the output from the block - 42%. According to the ORB / Telegraph poll, for the preservation of the current order of things have voted 48% for its change - 47%. The attention of investors is also switched on the TV debate between Prime Minister David Cameron and the leader of the Party of Independence of the United Kingdom and a supporter of exit from the EU Nigel Farage. Debates to be held on Thursday.

Later this week, the focus will be on industrial production statistics and foreign trade, which is likely to point to the weakness of the British economy. Manufacturing probably felt the most strongly negative impact from the global challenges for the manufacturing sector and uncertainty about the outcome of the referendum on EU membership. Meanwhile, the trade deficit is likely to increase slightly. The reason for this is the weak support from external demand, the deterioration of the situation in the manufacturing sector and a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU.

The Canadian dollar rose modestly against the US dollar, approaching to a maximum of 4 May, helped by the increase in oil prices.

Yesterday the head of the US Federal Reserve Yellen gave a largely upbeat assessment of the US economic outlook and noted that the regulator will raise interest rates gradually, without naming specific terms increase.

"If the situation in the labor market improves, inflation close to the target level, it would be appropriate to raise rates gradually. If inflation remains low, the Fed can only take limited measures to stimulate in the background of almost zero interest rates. Now the soft monetary policy remains appropriate" - he explained Yellen.

Bullard is a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) this year.

European markets begin sessions of the expected increases and the Warsaw Stock Exchange fits in the environment. After the first exchanges, the index of the largest companies grow by 0.5 percent. The turnover does not impress by volume, but the market is trying to continue Friday's rebound. At the moment the current market replicates the behavior of the yesterday's session, which brought an attempt to rise in the first minutes of trading, and consolidation for the next several hours. Unfortunately, with low activity, market signals that bigger capital keeps the distance to the ongoing fourth day of reflection, and that means a low credibility of the wave moving north.

Monday's session on Wall Street brought solidarity increases in the major indexes. The S&P500 gained 0.5 percent and ended the day at the highest level in the current year. During the session, the index reached 2,113 points and was about 1 percent from the record of all time, which is in the vicinity of 2,134 points. The good reaction was to the speech of Janet Yellen, who calmed the markets opinion that one ambiguous pronunciation of a report from the labor market should be complemented with other data that indicate the correct condition of the US economy and ever present space for the normalization of monetary policy. However it does not change expectations of the upcoming FOMC meeting. The market valuation about June price increase in the US is likely about 4 percent.

The most important event of the day will be behavior of the US markets. Approach of the S&P500 in the region of 2,113 points means that Wall Street already flirting with records of all time. Overcoming this level would be an invitation for many other markets to march to the north and actually change the sentiment on growth. Good posture of core markets can help bulls in Warsaw, which clearly have no idea for nothing more than recover from last week's fears of nationalization of pension funds.

The Australian dollar rose to one-month highs after the Reserve Bank of Australia held policy steady as expected, and said its decision was consistent with sustainable growth.

The Reserve Bank of Australia have left interest rates on hold and the Aussie $ has rallied strongly 7 June 2016

The decision was largely as expected but that hasn't stopped the Aussie $ from enjoying a relief rally with AUDUSD posting one-month highs of 0.7420 so far.

Nothing of real note in the RBA statement that I can see but the decision is enough to have shorts running for cover. The nod to rising housing prices is still tempered by talk of low inflation remaining for "some time" but overall the statement is less dovish than some might have expected in the wake of last month's surprise cut.

The dollar edged up but still wallowed close to four-week lows against a basket of currencies on Tuesday, after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's remarks failed to toss a lifebuoy to the recently foundering greenback.

While Yellen remained relatively optimistic about the overall U.S. economic outlook and said the Fed would hike interest rate hikes, she gave no fresh hints about timing, and called last month's U.S. jobs data "disappointing."

The dollar has been under pressure since the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report on Friday showed the slowest job growth in more than five years in May, quashing expectations for a near-term U.S. interest rate hike.

Even before Yellen spoke, U.S. interest rates futures implied traders had all but priced out any chance the Fed will raise rates at its policy meeting next week.

Against the yen, the dollar reversed its earlier losses and rose 0.2 percent to 107.81 yen, pulling away from the previous session's low of 106.35, its weakest in a month. It remained well shy of levels above 109 yen, where it stood as recently as Friday.

Earlier on Tuesday, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso told reporters that he would refrain from commenting on Japan's possible response in the currency market if the yen were to rise further.

European stocks closed higher on Monday, led by a mining-sector rally as metals continued to gain in the wake of last week's dismal U.S. jobs report.

Analysts said investors appeared to focus on U.S. monetary policy staying accommodative after the weaker-than-expected jobs data.

Asian stocks hit a five-week high on Tuesday after U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen gave a largely upbeat assessment on the U.S. economic outlook, while the dollar declined on diminishing expectations of interest rate increases in coming months.

"Yellen's comments yesterday downplayed the impact of the jobs data last week and gave a cautious sense of optimism on the outlook for the U.S. economy," said Fan Cheuk Wan, head of investment strategy, Asia at HSBC Private Bank.

"Her comments point towards the world remaining stuck in a low-growth and low-yield environment which should be positive for risky assets and keep the dollar soft," she said.

The Fed chief said last month's jobs report was "disappointing" but warned against attaching too much significance to the payrolls data in isolation.

World markets cheered her comments with U.S. stocks closing a shade below a recent record.
