EU Session Bullet Report

Dollar demand continues and carries to Asia as the market focus shifts from Greece, to NFP. Non-farm payroll is expected to show 234k growth in June while the unemployment rate is expected to drop to 5.4%. This will be the 56th time in a row that US employment has increased. To note however, Goldman Sachs expects the data to disappoint forecasting 220k in June, below consensus of 234k

In the US a very good ADP employment report raised expectations for an equally positive NFP. EURUSD dropped to 1.1050 area waiting for further clues for direction. Next big support level is 1.0960.

GBPUSD broke significant support of 1.5690 and it was all downwards from there which led to the pair hitting a 2 week low at 1.5587.

Noteworthy decliner was Crude oil, which was sold off following the release of Crude Oil inventories which saw an excess of supply. Oil has been trading around 58-60 USD a barrel but is valued at $57 now.

In China, the propaganda ministry ordered state media to publish only positive opinions about the stock market, and not to criticize, however Stocks are in the red again. Elsewhere in Asia, stocks are trading higher.

Data wise, it will not be a very busy morning in the European session, however at 12:30GMT there is a wide number of US releases, including NFP which are guaranteed to spark volatility for the rest of the day.
