Highlights this weekUS job openings, Australian GDP growth rate, US services PMI, Canadian unemployment rate, US job report
Tuesday:
US job openings is expected to be released at 15:00 GMT. The expectations are for an increase in the figure of around 50,000 jobs but this might not have a significant effect on the dollar since the data is for the month of October and also all eyes will be focusing on the job report later this week for a more accurate conclusion on the labor market.
Wednesday:
Australian GDP growth rate at 12:30 AM GMT. The market consensus is for an increase on the figure to reach 0.5% against the previous 0.2% quarter over quarter. If the consensus is confirmed then it could potentially create some short term gains for the Australian dollar against its pairs.
US Services PMI at 15:00 GMT for the month of November. The consensus is for a slight decrease of 0.5 points reaching 55.5. This might be rather bullish news for the Dollar since it would mean that the services sector in the States is still expanding.
Friday:
Canadian unemployment rate at 13:30 GMT. The market is expecting the figure to remain stable at 6.5% for the month of November.
US Job report at 13:30 GMT where the non farm payrolls and unemployment rate are going to be published. The expectations for the NFP is for an increase to reach 183,000 against the previous recording of 12,000. If these expectations are correct, we might see that the dollar could move up in various pairs in the aftermath of the release. On the other hand the unemployment rate is expected to remain static at 4.1%.
