The dollar surged against other world currencies on Monday boosted by rising global tensions, which prompted investors to move money into safe haven assets, such as U.S. Treasuries. The greenback was also supported by upbeat U.S. economic data. June factory output rose 0.8%, well above market expectations. Investors will look ahead at Wednesday's consumer price data and the start of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's semi-annual testimony before Congress.
The crown traded near the 28.50 per euro level on Monday, lacking any fresh impulses. Today the currency shrugged off a report showing June PPI was up 0.2% mom, in line with market expectations.
