Oil up ahead of OPEC meet

The dollar index .DXY dipped 0.24 percent after having fallen as much as 0.8 percent. The U.S. currency sank as much as 1.6 percent to 111.32 Japanese yen JPY= before recovering to 112.1.

Most analysts said the dip in the dollar since Friday was simply a correction with the greenback still on track for its strongest two-month gain since early 2015.

The index hit a near 14-year high of 102.05 on Thursday before falling on Friday and slipping further to 101.32 on Monday.

"The last few days of November and the first few days of December will be chock full of risk events, so that's provided a convenient backdrop to take profit on the dollar's big rally," said Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions in Washington.

The euro was little changed versus the greenback after rising nearly 1 percent to $1.0684 following the election of Francois Fillon as the center-right candidate in next year's French presidential vote. It was last at $1.0606 EUR=.

Fillon, a former French prime minister, is the favorite to become president, with a flash opinion poll suggesting he would easily beat far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen in a second round run-off. Markets worry that Le Pen, who has promised a referendum on membership of the European Union if she wins, would threaten the future of the currency bloc.

On Wall Street, consumer and financial stocks weighed on the S&P 500 after rallying last week. Recently battered stocks in utilities and telecom services posted the largest gains.

"We did have a big run up, of course, in the reaction to the election, a lot of economically-sensitive sectors like finance had big runs," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois.

"Now we are seeing a little bit of profit taking waiting on the next big driver."

The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 54.24 points, or 0.28 percent, to 19,097.9, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 11.63 points, or 0.53 percent, to 2,201.72 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 30.11 points, or 0.56 percent, to 5,368.81.

The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 fell 0.85 percent, while MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe .MIWD00000PUS fell 0.28 percent.

Emerging market stocks rose 0.9 percent.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries meets on Wednesday, while a week heavy in U.S. economic data including a GDP revision, inflation, factory and services activity is set to climax on Friday with the monthly jobs report.

Oil prices jumped in volatile trading after falling as much as 2 percent, as the market reacted to the shaky prospect of major producers being able to agree to output cuts later this week.

U.S. crude CLc1 last rose 1.9 percent to $46.91 a barrel and Brent LCOc1 traded at $48.04, up 1.7 percent on the day.

Industrial metals also remained red hot on hopes of strong demand for property and infrastructure investment in China and the United States. Chinese steel futures SRBcv1 jumped nearly 6 percent.[MET/L]

Spot gold XAU= rose 0.9 percent to $1,193.37 an ounce. U.S. gold futures GCcv1 added 1.2 percent to $1,192.60 an ounce. Copper CMCU3 was little changed at $5,881.15 a tonne.

U.S. Treasury yields fell from last week's multi-month or multi-year highs on month-end buying and views that the selloff that followed the surprise U.S. presidential election victory of Donald Trump earlier this month may have gone too far.

"The sell-off has been quite dramatic," said Subadra Rajappa, head of U.S. rates strategy at Societe Generale in New York. "It has kind of run ahead of itself."

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield US10YT=RR hit a session low at 2.312 percent. Benchmark 10-year notes US10YT=RR last rose 16/32 in price to yield 2.3142 percent.
