Nonfarm Payrolls
The Dollar is heading with negative sentiment into the NFP- news today. A further slide in the Greenback might be expected, should the figure be weaker than expected. The recent month showed a 12k increase in new jobs and the expectation with 218k newly created jobs seems quite high. The EUR and GBP have both showed strong positive momentum and recent support levels in both currency pairs might hold throughout the weekend, which highly depends on the NFP data.
