The published block of statistics on the United States was very negative. Particularly noteworthy is the change in the number of people employed in the nonfarm sector from ADP, which has fallen more than expected. This decline against the background of very weak expectations from the US employment market and the overall growth of risks is a very negative factor for the US currency.

Negative statistics for the United States corresponds to normal deviation and does not act as a significant collapse of one or another indicator. The general political and trade pressure puts more pressure on the US currency, but the dynamics of the American dollar continue to be limited by the uptrend. Thus, the US dollar index maintains an upward dynamic, where significant support is located at levels: 96.90-80 and 96.60-50.
