Forex trading comes to a climax with American Non-Farm Payrolls, which are expected to fall once again. Also note Canadian employment data. Let’s see what’s awaiting us.
Swiss CPI is predicted to rise by 0.1% after a 0.6%. Swiss prices aren’t putting any pressure for a rate hike.
Canadian employment figures are expected to be OK: a positive 15.6 employment change number, that follows a big 43.6K drop, which in turn followed a good surprise.
The Canadian unemployment isn’t expected to move from 8.6%. Any surprise will shake USD/CAD, especially as these figures are published 90 minutes before the American NFP.
