FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Equities in the US markets are trading in the defensive territory on Monday, as traders are still digesting the poor data from March Payrolls alongside some logic profit taking. The greenback, tracked by the US Dollar Index, is advancing against its major rivals although still below the 83.00 handle.
At the moment, DowJones is down 0.23% followed by the S&P500 and the Nasdaq, retreating 0.01% and 0.04%, respectively.
Bourses in Europe mostly closed the day with gains, recovering ground after last week’s sell-off, against the backdrop of increasing jitters on Portugal.

The single currency was rejected in the area of 1.3040, falling later to the current area around the psychological mark at 1.3000.
