The US Dollar Index closed more than 1% down. Traders prefer the safe haven currency. Until the Greek saga takes a back seat, no US economic data reacted accordingly. Greece is expected to deliver so many releases today that volatility is likely to continue. Choppy trades are unlikely to obey the support and resistance levels. Traders can be more cautious this week.
In addition, market participants eye ADP non-farm data, non-farm employment change and unemployment rate. Besides, data on Tankan manufacturing and non-manufacturing index is due today.
