Pay special attention to the nonfarm payrolls by ADP at 12:15 GMT. The April report is expected to show a solid 215K increase in private payrolls. US will release its advance Q1 GDP (forecast: + 1.2%; Q4: revised down to 2.6%) at 12:30 GMT. The U.S. economy probably grew at the slowest pace in a year as the untypically cold winter weather lowered consumer and business confidence. Later in the day FOMC will announce its monetary policy decision (18:00 GMT). The April meeting should provide few surprises: the QE taper is expected to continue at a pace of $10 billion. There will be no press conference or new projections in April. The market will likely focus on when interest rates might begin to rise and at what pace.  http://www.fxbazooka.com/upload/tiny/News/Currencies/dollar-ichaz.jpg More: http://www.fxbazooka.com/en/news/show/1226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economists don't think the figures will have a long-playing positive effect for the market.  “The US labor market report showed on Friday, that hiring in the US has been much stronger in April than markets had expected. 288K jobs had been created in April, compared to a 210K expected", analysts remind. "Also the unemployment rate dropped from 6.7% in March to 6.3% in April. However, a lot of this drop came on the back of a falling participation. Also wage growth has been flat, showing the continued slack in the US labor market”. http://www.fxbazooka.com/upload/tiny/News/Flags/us-debt-problem.gif http://www.fxbazooka.com/en/news/show/1233 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
