Today’s U.S. Non-Farm Employment Change data release is set to dominate the trading between the Dollar and its major currency pairs. A number of other factors are also likely to impact the forex market today, such as the EUR Minimum Bid Rate at 11:45 GMT. The results of today’s data are likely to determine the USD’s trend going into next week’s trading.
The ADP Non Farm Employment Change report, which was released Wednesday 12:30 GMT showed a worse than expected result of -473,000.

The main economic event that is likely to impact the forex market this week is the release of the EUR Minimum Bid Rate on Thursday at 11:45 GMT. This decision is highly important as it may determine the rate of the EUR, GBP, as well as USD crosses in the next several days. Since the start of the recession, all the major industrialized countries have cut their Interest Rates.
Today will be an important day for forex traders. Wednesdays typically act as the day with the most trading volume and volatility, and with events such as the US’s ADP Non-Farm Employment Change report being released just prior to the US market open, we will no doubt see a very intense trading session for all USD pairs and crosses, as well as dollar-based commodities (Gold, Crude Oil, Silver). The technical charts for the USD this morning are showing a lot of pressure mounting towards volatile price jumps, which will likely occur just after the ADP’s release at 12:15 GMT.
