It is a slow start to the new week for FX as traders look to get settled in to June trading. Dollar pairs are lightly changed with narrow ranges still prevailing for the most part. EUR/USD exemplifies that with a 10 pips range only for the day thus far.
It is still all to play for in trading this week. We’ll have quite a number of key risk events on the agenda in the days ahead. The BOC and ECB will be announcing their respective policy decisions. And both central banks are expected to begin cutting interest rates.
Then, we’ll also have US jobs data during the week before culminating in the non-farm payrolls report on Friday.
For today though, it should be a quieter one until US trading with just some PMI data to work with in Europe. The US ISM manufacturing PMI report might offer something for traders to act upon later in the day.
