In the parliament held a hearing on the matter, in particular, now began to address the former CEO Barclay Diamond, who left his post yesterday. Regulators will try to determine whether some banks deliberately carried Libor rate manipulation by providing false information during the financial crisis.

The euro snapped a gain from yesterday ahead of a Spanish bond sale tomorrow and before a meeting of the European Central Bank, at which economists project policy makers will cut interest rates. The ECB will probably lower its main refinancing rate by a quarter-percentage point to 0.75 percent tomorrow, the median economist estimate in a Bloomberg survey showed.
Spain is scheduled to auction three-, four- and 10-year debt tomorrow. The nation’s benchmark 10-year bond yielded 6.25 percent yesterday, compared with a euro-era high of 7.29 percent reached June 18.
The 17-nation currency failed to extend an advance from yesterday versus the yen before data forecast to confirm European services and manufacturing industries shrank. London-based Markit Economics is likely to say today that a final reading on its euro-area composite index was unchanged at 46 last month from May, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of economists. That’s the lowest since June 2009 and below the 50 level that signals expansion of services and manufacturing output.
The dollar touched a two-month low versus its New Zealand counterpart on speculation a U.S. report tomorrow will show job growth slowed. In the U.S., companies probably added 100,000 jobs in June, the smallest gain since August, a Bloomberg poll showed before ADP Employer Services releases the figure tomorrow.
The International Monetary Fund said additional monetary easing may be needed in the world’s largest economy. “Further easing” by the Fed might be needed “if the situation was to deteriorate,” IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde told reporters in Washington yesterday.
EUR / USD: during the Asian session the pair receded from yesterday's high.
GBP / USD: during the Asian session the pair fell slightly.
USD / JPY: during the Asian session the pair fell.
EMU data at 0900GMT includes retail trade and the third estimate of Q1 GDP, while at the same time, German Finance Minister Wolfgang
Schaeuble presents a new postal stamp, in Berlin. Also in Europe today, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso is due to deliver a speech at the "Europe in 2012 and its challenges" conference, in Mont Ste Odile (France). In the UK at 0828GMT, the Markit/CIPS Services PMI for June is due and is seen slipping to 52.7 from 53.3 last month. Markets on Wednesday will obviously be thinned-out by the Independence Day holiday in the US today.
Yesterday the yen weakened most of its major counterparts as investors sought higher-yielding assets amid speculation central banks will step up efforts to spur growth, reducing demand for havens.
The euro rose after the head of the IMF's Christine Lagarde called on the U.S. to an additional stimulus to prevent economic slowdown, as evidenced by the drop in ISM index in the manufacturing sector to around 49.7 in June. It should be noted that Lagarde addressed to politicians, not the Fed. In addition, she stated that the dollar is overvalued, which causes the upward movement of the EUR / USD charts. Players expect the ECB meeting to be held on July 5. The European Central Bank will cut its key interest rate to a record low. The ECB and BOE will announce policy decisions on July 5. ECB officials will lower their main interest rate by a quarter- percentage point to 0.75 percent on July 5, economists survey forecast.
The Canadian dollar advanced against most of its major counterparts as crude oil, the nation’s largest export, rose to the strongest level against the U.S. currency since May 17. It climbed as much as 0.5 percent to C$1.0121. Crude for August delivery rose to as high as $88.04 a barrel in New York, the highest since May 31.
Australia’s dollar touched a two-month high today versus the greenback as data showed the nation’s home building approvals surged in May, adding to signs that the economy is gaining momentum. It pared gains after the Reserve Bank of Australia kept interest rates unchanged and said a subdued international outlook meant the stance of monetary policy remains appropriate.
The pound weakened against a majority of its most-traded peers after an index showed U.K. construction contracted in June. The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee will raise its target for bond purchases by 50 billion pounds ($79 billion) to 375 billion pounds on July 5.
