During yesterday’s trading session AUD/USD traded within the range of 0.9261-0.9313 and closed at 0.9275.

Fundamental view

Employers in all sectors of economy in the United States, excluding the farming industry, probably added 210 000 new jobs in April, according to the median forecast by experts, after a job gain of 192 000 in the preceding month. Creation of jobs is considered of utmost importance for consumer spending, while the latter is a major driving force behind economic growth. In case of a larger than expected gain in jobs, the US currency would receive a boost.

In addition, the rate of unemployment in the United States probably decreased to 6.6% last month from 6.7% in March. In case the rate meets expectations or even drops further, this would have a bullish effect on the greenback.

Both reports are due to be released at 12:30 GMT.
