NEW YORK/LONDON, June 10 (Reuters) -MSCI'S global equities index edged higher on Monday aheadof key inflation data and central bank policy meetings, while the euro fell after French President Emmanuel Macron called a snap election.

U.S. Treasury yields were higher as investors digested Friday's labor market data and looked toward consumer price data and a Federal Reserve policy announcement late this week. Investors are also waiting on Bank of Japan policy news.

Adding further uncertainty to a busy week was fresh political uncertainty in the euro zone's second-biggest economy after far-right gains in European Parliament elections on Sunday prompted a bruised Macron to call a national election.

The euro fell to a one-month low against the dollar EUR=EBS, while European stocks slipped.

"There's a little bit of uncertainty coming from a couple of areas. Look at the elections over the weekend in Europe. The uncertainty there is creating a fair amount of volatility," said Chad Oviatt, director of investment management at Huntington National Bank.

Europe's STOXX 600 .STOXX index earlier closed down 0.27% while France's blue-chip CAC 40 index .FCHI fell 1.4% to touch a more than three-month low.

But MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe .MIWD00000PUS turned from red to green as the day wore on and Wall Street regained some lost ground. The global index was last up 0.26 points, or 0.03%, at 794.50.

Investors were waiting for U.S. consumer price index (CPI) inflation data due Wednesday morning just ahead of the Fed's next policy decision dueWednesday afternoon.

Adding to jitters about what the economic data will mean for the Fed's policy on rates was Friday'spayrolls report, which showed the U.S. economy created far more jobs than expected in May while annual wage growth re-accelerated.

"There's always the question, is CPI going to come in hotter than expected and what's the Fed going to say," said Huntington's Oviatt, adding that "sticky inflation and strong economic data doesn't really give the Fed much room to cut."

At 2:37 p.m. ET (1837 GMT) the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 59.95 points, or 0.16%, to 38,860.44, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 9.77 points, or 0.18%, to 5,356.76 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC gained 33.37 points, or 0.18%, to 17,166.50.

U.S. Treasury yields, which move inversely to prices, rose on Monday, reflecting the higher-for-longer U.S. rate expectations. US/

The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes US10YT=RR rose 4.1 basis points to 4.469%, from 4.428% late on Friday while the 30-year bond US30YT=RR yield rose 4.7 basis points to 4.5948% from 4.548% late on Friday.

The 2-year note US2YT=RR yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, rose 1.5 basis points to 4.8846%.

In currencies, the euro fell to its lowest level against the U.S. dollar since May 9 and to a near 2-year low against sterling EURGBP=D3.

The dollar index =USD, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, gained 0.1% at 105.16. The euro EUR= was down 0.39% against the dollar at $1.0758.

Against the Japanese yen JPY=, the dollar strengthened 0.19% to 157.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) holds a two-day monetary policy meeting this week and could offer fresh guidance on how it plans to scale back its massive bond purchases.

In commodities, oil prices rose to a one-week high onhopes of rising fuel demand this summer, though gains were capped by dollar strength and receding expectations of U.S. rate cuts.

U.S. crude CLc1 settled up2.93% at $77.74 a barrel and Brent LCOc1 settled at $81.63 per barrel, up 2.52%. O/R
