The markets don’t like uncertainty. Therefore, the prospect of the Federal Reserve moving its overnight rate away from historical lows this year and the ongoing drama over negotiations to prevent a Greek default provided reason for traders to vault yields of the major 10-year Treasurys.

Dollar Bounces Back, but Still Seems Fragile

Daily Shot TF
While everybody is waiting for news from Greece, recent data shows capacity utilization and industrial production in the US recently declined. In the meanwhile the Euro area trade surplus hit a record on soft domestic demand and weak euro.

FX UpdateTF
The Greek standoff remains total as Greece won’t even present a new plan at this week’s Euro Group meeting, as it looks like Greece wants to take the country beyond the brink to test its creditors’ mettle. Elsewhere, low expectations for tomorrow’s FOMC may be justified.
