As such, traders will want to pay careful attention to the US Unemployment Claims, set to be released today, August 30th at 12:30 GMT.

Don't miss out on another opportunity to capitalize on market volatility!

Today’s news is forecasted to come in at 370K, which if true, would be slightly lower than last week's and could help the dollar recover some of its recent losses. That being said, if the unemployment figure comes in higher than expected, the dollar could extend its bearish trend. This is an excellent opportunity for forex traders to take advantage of potentially significant news, so don't miss out!
