IMF's managing director Kristalina Georgieva is hopeful about the US economy as inflation declines further
US prices fell in November for the first in more than 3-1/2 years, pushing the annual increase in inflation further below 3 percent, and boosting financial market expectations of an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve next March.

The dollar started Monday on the front foot, with a reading on US inflation and the Federal Reserve's last policy meeting for the year likely to set the tone for the week, while rising deflationary pressure in China leant on the yuan.
