MARKET NEWS
* The euro was set to snap its six-day winning streak on Tuesday, coming off near one-month highs against the dollar as the greenback was bought back broadly on a flurry of stop-loss buying and short-covering by macro-funds.
* Brent crude was lower on Tuesday, weighed down by lingering concerns over the health of the global economy, the Greek debt crisis and a stronger dollar.
* The Nikkei stock average eked out a tiny gain on Tuesday, managing to extend its rally to a sixth session, though signs of short-term overheating point to the chance of a near-term setback rather than a break above major resistance.
* European shares are expected to open flat to slightly lower on Tuesday as one-month high equity prices prompt investors to take profits ahead of the euro zone services PMI and retail sales data, which may offer some short-term direction to the market.
