The euro strengthened against the other major currencies in the
early European session on Monday, after declining on concerns about
Greece's stalled negotiations with its international creditors.
Traders now focus their attention towards the Eurozone finance
ministers meeting, due on Thursday.
The Eurogroup meeting to be held on June 18 in Luxembourg is
largely in focus as it decides Greece 's ability to repay its debt
defaults and its future existence among the 19-nations in the euro
area.
"While some progress was made, the talks did not succeed as
there remains a significant gap between the plans of the Greek
authorities and the joint requirements of Commission," the EU
executive said in a statement. "On this basis, further discussion
will now have to take place in the Eurogroup," he added.
The EU officials dismissed the Greek government's latest
proposals on Sunday, calling them "vague and repetitive".
Uncertainty over Greece grew, as it have to unlock bailout funds
before its euro-area bailout package expires on June 30.
The European Central Bank's president Mario Draghi testimony on
monetary policy before the European Parliament's Economic and
Monetary Affairs Committee, in Brussels, due later in the day, is
also largely awaited.
Also, the U.S. Federal Reserve holds its June meeting on Tuesday
and Wednesday, with analysts waiting to see if there's going to be
any change in the Fed's language in the policy statement.
In the Asian session, the euro fell against its major
rivals.
In early European session, the euro rose to 0.7237 against the
pound, 1.1247 against the U.S. dollar and 138.88 against the yen,
from early lows of 0.7202, 1.1188 and 138.09, respectively. If the
euro extends its uptrend, it is likely to find resistance around
0.74 against the pound, 1.15 against the greenback and 141.00
against the yen.
Moving away from an early near 2-week lows of 1.0420 against the
Swiss franc and 1.4468 against the Australian dollar, the euro
advanced to 1.0469 and 1.4551, respectively. The euro may test
resistance near 1.06 against the franc and 1.48 against the
aussie.
Against the New Zealand and the Canadian dollars, the euro edged
up to 1.6102 and 1.3852 from early lows of 1.6031 and 1.3800,
respectively. On the upside, 1.63 against the kiwi and 1.41 against
the loonie area seen as the next resistance levels for the
euro.
Looking ahead, U.S. industrial production for May and U.S. NAHB
housing market index for June are slated for release in the New
York session.
