Forex Signals Brief for Sep 3: Looking to Jobless Claims Once Again

US Market Wrap

US markets made yet another ‘record high’ yesterday and we are growing accustomed to the slow and steady grind higher.

That said, the data might have suggested things still weren’t as good as the markets are telling us they are. That was clear when the ADP jobs report missed the mark by around 500K jobs last month falling short of the 1 million expected. This is always a bit of a preview of what is to come on Friday, but it will likely be a large fall from the last month’s number.

The other story of the session was that the USD managed to finally start holding up a little bit for the time being, which is causing the majors to slow down after a big run.

The Data Agenda

Once again the focus is firmly on the state of US jobs today with the weekly jobless claims data set to be released.

We are again looking for this number to fall under the 1 million mark – a level that it has been struggling to crack. At the same time, we also get ISM non-manufacturing PMI for August as well.

Earlier in the session, we should also take note of the UK which has a few key releases today including services and composite PMI while we do also get the same from Germany.
