The US Dollar displayed mixed results on Monday, influenced by an improvement in risk sentiment. The DXY index recorded a modest gain of less than 0.1%, enabling it to achieve the highest closing level in two months, surpassing 104.20.

US markets were closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day, resulting in a relatively quiet trading day.

Key reports later in the week include Thursday's ADP employment report and Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls.
