The dollar hovered near a one-month peak against the euro and pushed to a one-week high versus the yen on Tuesday, supported by surprisingly robust domestic jobs data at the end of last week.


A survey showed Sentix's index returned to positive territory. Investor morale in the euro zone rose for the eighth consecutive month in June, but economic recovery in the bloc is proceeding with difficulty.

Three-month risk reversals suggested investors are at their most euro-bearish since the end of April after a surge in support for far-right parties in France and Germany in the EU parliamentary elections.
