Currency Note US Dollar

Manufacturing data due from US this week

By Ricky Bean April 18th, 2016

It was a fairly quiet Friday for the US dollar in terms of market movement and data releases. The dollar remained stable against the majority of currencies as Consumer Sentiment data failed to surpass the previous month’s figure, as expected.

We can expect a quiet week for data releases this week, with the weekly unemployment claims due out on Thursday, which is expected to post another stable figure. In addition to this, we will see flash Manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) on Friday, which is expected to show further growth in the sector. Other than these, the US dollar markets will continue to be influenced by concerns over the global economy as a whole.
