It is Friday and the US Dollar is little changed against major peers ahead of the US Jobs report later today but aims to end the week on green. Non-Farm Payrolls have likely increased to 175k in December, vs. 199k in November, and unless today’s print comes in stronger than expected (as we saw yesterday’s US private jobs print do), we could start to see the greenback lose some steam.

In the Euro-area, Euro-Zone inflation numbers are due and the euro edges lower continuing to trade mid 1.09-1.10 amid any possible impact to the ECB’s monetary policy. Germany retail sales and construction PMI are also due.

In the UK, construction PMI data is due, and sterling holds below 1.27 against the US dollar. UK House prices rose 1.1% in December, according to Halifax, and one of the wettest Decembers on record could have pushed costumers away from stores during the Christmas shopping period. The number of people in shops and malls dropped by 5% in the last five weeks of 2023.
