It’s Labour Day in the US today, so there are no data releases for the US. However, the dollar strengthened slightly after the release of Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday.
Data showed that the US economy added 1.371 million jobs in August, below a revised 1.734 million in the previous month, and only slightly below market forecasts of 1.4 million. The unemployment rate came in lower than expected.
Jobless claims figures will be released for the US later this week, as well as inflation rate.
