The dollar halted a two-day advance while emerging markets rebounded as investors reassessed prospects for higher U.S. interest rates. European stocks rose with U.S. equity-index futures, while oil extended its retreat from a seven-week high. The U.S. currency slid against all except two of its 16 major peers before a key address by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen that may give insight on whether the economy is growing fast enough for rates to rise this year. Commodity producers led gains in European equities and futures signaled the S&P 500 Index will advance for the first time in three days. Even as markets swing between gains and losses, volatility across asset classes remained subdued, with a measure for U.S. stocks near a two-year low.
