US ADP Non-Farm Payrolls: Thursday, 12:15. The report is usually released on Wednesday, but it is delayed due to the 4th of July celebrations. ADP’s report for private sector jobs was very positive in May, showing a leap of 253K jobs, far better than expected. However, this was not well correlated with the actual private sector jobs gained according to the official BLS report. A gain of 181K jobs is on the cards.
US jobless claims: Thursday, 12:30. The weekly barometer of jobless claims has been stable around 240K in recent weeks. It is a reminder that the number of the jobless is sliding constantly and serves as another minor indicator for the NFP on Friday. A small rise from 244K to 245K is predicted.
ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI: Thursday, 14:00. The report for the services sector is a very important indicator for the NFP. Contrary to the previous month, this report is released just on time to alter expectations. Back in May, the indicator slid from 57.5 to 56.9, still showing robust growth in the biggest sector in America. Watch out for the employment component in the specific content of the jobs report. A drop from 56.9 to 56.6 is predicted.
Crude Oil Inventories: Thursday, 14:30. Also here, the report is postponed from Wednesday to Thursday. The amount of stored oil is not falling very fast or at times it is rising. The last result was a minor rise of 0.1 million. This has kept the pressure on oil prices. Apart from the immediate impact on the Canadian dollar, it has a wider impact on the greenback: there is an inverse correlation between the dollar and oil prices. Lower oil prices could help the dollar.

Update: the pair managed to break through the level of 1.1360 so we would go short targeting the level of 1.1300 during the day.

On the other hand, breaching the level of 1.1360 will open the door for further downward movement during the week.
