European focus: the dollar rose to a two-week high against the yen before a U.S. report today that may show employers added jobs for a third month.


The euro headed for a weekly loss versus 15 of its 16 major counterparts amid concern that European governments will struggle to raise funds as the region’s fiscal crisis lingers. The Australian dollar traded at a two-week low against its U.S. counterpart as worsening floods hampered the South Pacific nation’s coal industry. An ADP Employer Services report on Jan. 5 showed U.S. companies hired almost triple the number of people estimated by economists.

“It’s payrolls and looking at the better tone of the dollar this week, or at least since the ADP; the market is clearly expecting something fairly decent,” said Jane Foley, a senior foreign-exchange strategist at Rabobank International in London. “Dollar-yen is just displaying the broad-based dollar strength that we’ve seen this week.”

The dollar rose 0.2 percent to 83.51 yen at 10:08 a.m. in London, after touching 83.60 yen, the highest level since Dec. 22. The euro depreciated for a fifth day to $1.2992, after earlier falling to $1.2961, the weakest since Sept. 15. The single currency was at 108.51 yen from 108.35 yen.

Australia’s currency bought 99.17 U.S. cents from 99.44 cents yesterday, extending declines into a fifth day. The Aussie earlier touched 99.08 cents, the least since Dec. 21, and is set for a 3.1 percent drop this week. The so-called Aussie was little changed at 82.82 yen from 82.85 yen.

Economists have raised forecasts for the number of jobs added by U.S. employers in December after a report this week showed the biggest jump in company payrolls since records began in 2001.

EUR/USD the pair keeps flatbound. 
GBP/USD the pound is trading rangebound.
USD/JPY the yen is trading flatbound. 

The main event starts at 1330GMT with US Labor Market Data, where non-farm payrolls are expected to rise 160,000 in December following the surprisingly weak 39,000 rise in November. Private payrolls are now seen up 180,000, as ADP predicted a near 300,000 gain. The unemployment rate is forecast to fall to 9.7% from 9.8% in November, though annual revision to the household survey data could impact the reported monthly rates for the last year. Hourly earnings are expected to post a 0.1% rise, while the average workweek is forecast to hold 
steady at 34.3 hours in December.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
