U.S. Unemployment Claims to Set the Pace of the USD 2012

The U.S. Unemployment Claims Report will set the pace of the USD today. Despite the Dollar diving against the GBP so far today, in the coming hours there is some mouthwatering data that is set to be released from the U.S. Britain kept her rates unchanged earlier today, as the Bank of England (BoE) revealed that its quantitative easing will conclude sooner rather than later. This is why the GBP/USD cross is set for a 3 day winning streak. The pair is already up by over 100 pips today at the 1.6618 mark.

However, in the coming few hours, the leading currencies, such as the GBP/USD cross will be under much pressure from the Dollar, as a string of data is set to be released from the U.S. At 13:30 GMT, the Unemployment Claims, Prelim Nonfarm Productivity and the Prelim Unit Labor Costs will all be published simultaneously from the U.S. Surrounding these releases; there will be very high volatility in the forex market. Thus to open big positions in the U.S. Dollar now will be the wisest decision that you make this week.
