US data could have been worse – dollar recovers

The ISM manufacturing PMI stands at 50.7 points, within expectations that stood on 50.9. Also the final figure from Markit didn’t disappoint and remained at growth territory, above 50.

This helped the dollar recover: EURUSD fell below 1.32 after the break higher seen earlier in the day. The markets already got used to bigger disappointments.

The wake of the US session saw an extension of the dollar’s fall, as the ADP non farm payrolls showed a gain of only 119K private sector jobs.

The Fed is awaited at 18:00 GMT. No change in policy is expected.

After taking a short course about forex. Like many forex traders, I've earned a significant share of my knowledge the hard way. Macroeconomics, the impact of news on the ever-moving currency markets and trading psychology have always fascinated me. Before founding Forex Crunch, I've worked as a programmer in various hi-tech companies. I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Ben Gurion University. Given this background, forex software has a relatively bigger share in the posts.
