The dollar strengthened, recouping some of the losses from earlier this week and last week. But if anything, this looks like some positioning by traders ahead of tomorrow's big event. With the dollar hovering near three-year lows, dollar shorts are being covered slightly. EUR/USD fell from 1.1800 to 1.1755, while USD/JPY edged up 0.5% on the day to just above 144.00. GBP/USD, on the other hand, fell 0.6% to 1.3660 as dovish Bank of England chief Taylor tried to sow the idea of three more rate cuts before the end of the year. Meanwhile, USD/CAD is flat around 1.3645, while AUD/USD is down 0.4% at 0.6555 as buyers have lost some momentum this week. In equities, European indices are up, seeking to rebound from yesterday's more subdued performance. This comes as US futures look more mixed after yesterday's rotational trading. Tech stocks have started to slide again after stabilizing earlier, with Nasdaq futures currently down 0.1%. Beyond that, there's nothing too exciting to see as we await US data releases. The ADP employment report is due out soon, but it has long failed to give a fair picture of the future trajectory of non-farm payrolls.
