On Thursday, the US dollar, was mainly increasing against the euro and other competitors. Vista Brokers analysts note that the position of the US currency did not weaken even after the release of the data on unemployment claims in the United States, which was much worse than expected. The market ignored the statistics, watching only the developments in Greece.

Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the number of initial claims for unemployment benefits for the week ended July 4 has increased by 15 000 to 297 000, while analysts had expected a decline of 7 000 to 275 000. This is not a good sign, because the last minutes of the Fed's meeting has once again confirmed that the regulator requires more obvious signals of economic recovery, to talk about rate hike. Today, market participants will wait for the speech of the Fed's head Janet Yellen and her comments on the matter.

By the way, according to minutes, FOMC members have mentioned Greece and the impact of its problems on financial markets, which may keep the Fed from the rate hike. Now European authorities are deciding whether to accept conditions of the three-year program of financial assistance for which Greece has requested - the issue should be resolved at a crisis summit on Sunday.
