Thanks for the update!

The US non-farm payroll report is due out today and it is widely expected that the US will shed 363,000 jobs in June, however it is likely that this number will be higher based on the ADP (Automated Data Processing) estimates that the US economy cut 473,000 jobs.

The ADP report is an informal report released by the largest payroll processing service and usually has a good insight into the employment status.

Keep in mind when trading that the US markets are closed on Friday in advance of the US Independence Day celebrations. One other thing to consider is the global political situation in advance of the July 4th US holiday, with North Korea threatening, Al Qaeda hinting and Honduras about to explode.

New Gains for JPY

The JPY always rises during financial crisis because Japan's trade surplus reduces the nation reliance. The JPY also inclined against all other Forex currencies after the Daily Telegraph cited Hartmut Schauerte, the economic state secretary, saying that the leading European economy is preparing measures with the Bundesbank anticipating a new credit crunch wave in early 2010.

hmm... i read that news...

The US got a shock yesterday on their first day back from a much needed summer break, as the Dollar fell across the board and whispers about the Dollars viability in the future as the primary reserve currency kept the greenback down.

Gold went over $1,000 for the first time since February, in a clear sign that the new safe haven is the old standard. The US government is unraveling, congress is under fire, the Dollar is under attack and it is not getting better.
