The new week started with a drop for the US indices

US indices are traded by around 1% down at the beginning of the session on Monday after drop in European shares which  came as a result of the continuing problem with the negotiations between Greece and its creditors.
Athens and its creditors failed to reach a deal over the weekend after European officials accused Greece for failure to meet commitments for reforms in return for the final tranche of the necessary financial support. Last week, the International Monetary Fund announced that there are "major differences" between the two negotiating teams, who met in Brussels.
Beyond developments in the negotiations for Greece's debt, the key event of the week is the two-day meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, which begins on Tuesday and ends on Wednesday with a statement of Janet Yellen.
Yields on US 10-year bond dropped to 2.31 %, while that of 2-year bonds - less than 0.70%.
Industrial production in the US unexpectedly fell in May to 0.2% against the expectations for growth of 0.3 %.

The US dollar rose against most major world currencies, one euro traded above 1.12 dollars.
