The dollar was slightly stronger against the pound and euro yesterday, benefitting from pound and euro weakness. Today, there is a series of important data releases for the US, including Balance of Trade, PMIs and jobless claims.
Data released yesterday showed that private-sector employment in August increased by 428,000. Although this reading came in much worse than the market expectation of 950,000, the negative impact on the dollar was short-lived.
