During the previous week, the most traded currency pair on the foreign exchange market fluctuated in a negative environment, as the week's opening level for EUR/USD cross was incomparable to the closing mark for the June 6. The single European currency managed to obtain strong gains versus the Greenback after the announcement of May's payroll report. According to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics release, non-farm payrolls were 38.000 in May, well below expectations of a 160.000 print. In addition, April's number was revised to 123.000 from 160.000. Nevertheless, during the Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen press conference, she highlighted that rate hike still could be possible since positive economic releases have outweighed the negative. Overall, the pair closed the preceding week on the 1.14 mark.
Dukascopy traders, in turn, assumed the most popular currency cross to lose but did not expect following data release thus such a steep pairs' reaction. Moreover, they expected the Friday's closing level to be just below the 1.118 mark; however, the market sentiment was strongly bearish, as 63.6% of all respondents stayed negative on EUR/USD.
The present trading week is expected to release jobless claims and wholesale inventories on Thursday while the next day, Michigan consumer expectations along with inflation expectations also will be published. At the same time, Dukascopy Community members forecast the Euro to keep hovering around the average trading level of the previous week, namely slightly above the 1.12.
