The euro extended its bearish trend during overnight trading, as a decrease in euro-zone growth forecasts continued to weigh down on the common-currency. The EUR/USD, currently trading below 1.2940, has fallen close to 140 pips since mid-day trading yesterday.

The US dollar took slight losses against the Japanese yen during Asian trading, but was able to largely maintain its recent gains as investors hesitated to open large positions ahead of key US employment data today. The USD/JPY, currently trading at 82.38, fell some 15 pips last night.

Main News for Today

ECB President Draghi Speaks- 10:00 GMT
• The euro turned bearish yesterday largely due to speculations that the ECB is considering an EU interest rate cut due to decreased economic growth expectations
• Any mention of a possible interest rate cut in Draghi's speech today could result in additional euro losses

US Non-Farm Employment Change- 13:30 GMT
• The Non-Farm Employment Change is widely considered the most significant event on the forex calendar
• Analysts are forecasting today's indicator to come in well below last month's
• Any worse than expected news could result in losses for higher-yielding assets, including the euro, gold and crude oil

At FOREXYARD, we believe in keeping our clients prepared for potentially significant news events. As such, traders will want to pay careful attention to the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), set to be released tomorrow, December 7th, at 13:30 GMT. As can be seen in the chart below, following a better than expected Non-Farms report last month, a strengthened US dollar resulted in the price of gold tumbling by more than $20 an ounce.

NFP 7.12.12

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

Analysts widely agree that the Non-Farms report is the most significant news event on the forex calendar. With tomorrow's figure forecasted to come in at 91K, well below last month's 171K, the US dollar may take significant losses before markets close for the weekend. Any bearish dollar movement could result in gains for commodities and precious metals, including gold and silver. This is an excellent opportunity for forex traders to take advantage of potentially significant news, so don't miss out!

The EUR/USD fell just over 20 pips, but was quickly able to recoup its losses. The pair is currently trading at 1.3067.

A better than expected Australian Employment Change figure resulted in the AUD/USD gaining more than 30 pips to eventually trade as high as 1.0479. The price of gold fell just over $4 an ounce before finding support at the $1690 level. Crude oil prices held steady around the $87.75 level throughout the night.

The price of gold fell below $1700 an ounce last night, its lowest point in a month, as concerns over a lack of progress in budget negotiations among US Congressional leaders weighed down on commodities. After dropping more than $18 an ounce, the precious metal was able to stage a slight recovery and is currently trading at $1707.

The ongoing deadlock over US budget negotiations also resulted in the USD/JPY falling close to 30 pips during Asian trading. The pair is currently at 81.92.

Meanwhile, news that Greece is closer to receiving a new round of bailout funds helped the euro continue its advance vs. the USD last night. The common currency gained some 25 pips, and is currently trading at the 1.3060 level.
