The US dollar remains subdued on firming market expectations that the Fed will continue loose monetary policy for a longer period and as ADP payrolls disappoint. Moods are cautious in equity markets today and investors look ahead to Friday’s US monthly jobs report for fresh direction. The New Zealand dollar is the strongest versus the dollar this morning following unemployment numbers which triggered expectations of rate hikes.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.”
