The first week of the month is all about US jobs data, and while the main event is the non-farm payrolls report later in the week, the JOLTS Job Openings data has become quite popular of later. While the data is usually around a month old, job openings are still a leading indicator of overall employment as it can take several months for vacancies to be filled. A strong number should be positive for US dollar, while weakness could further increase pressure on the beleaguered currency.

US non-farm payrolls report
Thursday, July 3
13:30 BST
With Thanksgiving holiday falling on Friday, this month’s jobs report will be released a day earlier than usual. We will also have plenty of other US macro releases on Thursday, including ISM services PMI and weekly jobless claims. Headline jobs growth beats expectations last month for the third consecutive time. But for a fifth month in a row, the prior month was revised lower. A sharply lower reading could further raise prospects of earlier rate cut expectations from the Fed.
