The US dollar received support. Data on employment change in the US

The US dollar is trying to strengthen its position against the basket of currencies, after the publication of data on the change in employment in the United States. According to published data, the change in the number of non-agricultural workers from ADP was 235 thousand, exceeding the forecast of analysts at 199 thousand, but still lower than the previous value of 244 thousand. Market reaction to the output of this statistics is quite restrained, as market participants already expect the release of Non farm payrolls on Friday.

Against the background of this statistics, the US dollar index shows a slight increase, but still remains near the trading week low, at 89.36.
