USD tradeThe USD stabilized in the beginning of the new weekly trading session. The currency record minimum rise during the Asian session, trying to stabilize performance, volatile after a few days of the week. The comments of the Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised doubts about the timing of a rise in interest rates in the US, and this news was adopted contradictory investors.

The eyes of the market will be focused on today’s announcement of the ECB President Mario Draghi to the European Parliamentary Commission on Greece and progress in quantitative easing program. Another important event of the day will be associated with the visit of the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in Germany, where he will meet with Angela Merkel. On Friday, Merkel said that Greece will receive fresh money to deal with the monetary crisis after creditors approve the detailed list of reforms that were promised, but so far not provided by Athens.

In recent weeks, officials from Brussels, Berlin and the ECB openly acknowledged the risk of Greece leaving the Eurozone. For this reason, today’s meeting between Merkel and Tsipras will be monitored closely for signs of consolidation or separation of the positions of both sides.
