    Hello Traders,

    Most important today:
    US NFP data

    What we could see after?

    In my opinion every number above 120.000-150.000 should push usd on higher levels and 1,2450-1,2500 will be on the cards,

    but what could happen if number will be below 100.000?

    we could see usd sell-off, ok, but how long? to 1,2740 or 1,2800 and after this another round of buing usd?

    Propably number below 50.000 will see strong sell-off usd on the boards...

    At this moment dont want to trade against usd, propably better to put sell order eur-usd ahead NFP, maybe will see surprise number?



    Good Luck

    Piotr

    Fundamental:
    The Canadian dollar was down
    versus the greenback on Wednesday as another slide in commodity
    prices weighed on the currency, which could drift further given
    the lack of any key domestic data.

    With no key Canadian data due out during the session to
    impact the currency, traders seemed content to focus on weaker
    commodities, particularly oil and gold, which often move in
    line with the Canadian dollar.

    The commodity story has been hurting the Canadian dollar
    for a while now. What's kept it as high before that is the huge
    amount of M&A activity," said Bart Melek, senior economist, at
    BMO Capital Markets.
    "But I think that's kind of getting washed out of the
    market and a lot of the strong commodity-based fundamentals are
    weakening."
