2025.09.0401:37:51UTC+00Dollar Steadies Ahead of More Jobs Data

The dollar index hovered around 98.1 on Thursday, slightly after declining in the previous session, as market participants turned their attention to upcoming labor market data that might influence the future trajectory of interest rates. Investors are particularly focused on the forthcoming ADP private payrolls report, anticipated to indicate a slowdown in hiring, along with the latest weekly jobless claims, which are projected to increase. Additionally, the August nonfarm payrolls data scheduled for release on Friday will play a crucial role in informing short-term market trends.

On Wednesday, the US dollar experienced a decline following the release of the JOLTS survey revealing that job openings decreased by 176,000 to 7.18 million, marking the lowest level since September 2024 and missing the anticipated 7.4 million. Further contributing to the cautious sentiment, US factory orders experienced a decline for the second consecutive month in July. In light of these developments, the market now projects nearly a 98% probability that the Federal Reserve will reduce interest rates by 25 basis points later this month.
