The U.S. dollar traded mixed to higher against the most major currencies on speculation the Fed may start raising its interest rate this year.

The euro traded lower against the U.S. dollar despite a deal between Greece and its lenders. "EuroSummit has unanimously reached agreement. All ready to go for ESM programme for Greece with serious reforms and financial support," European Council President Donald Tusk said on Monday.

The deal needs to be approved by national parliaments before talks about a bailout programme can start.

The Greek government should have to pass a series of reforms, including tax and pensions reforms, into law by Wednesday to restore trust.

"The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. The country which we help has shown a willingness and readiness to carry out reforms," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday.
