U.S. dollar 12/5

The U.S. dollar is expected to extend losses on Thursday after another batch of weaker-than-expected data releases for November in the U.S., says UniCredit. The Italian bank expects EUR/USD to breach again above 1.11 on Thursday, with the pair trading last up 0.1% at 1.1093, having reached a one-month high of 1.1114 on Wednesday, according to FactSet. The ADP survey revealed Wednesday U.S. private sector employment added only 67,000 jobs, the smallest increase since May. This together with a below-forecast ISM non-manufacturing PMI survey at 53.9, dragged the U.S. dollar lower. "EUR/USD breached the 1.11 handle and consolidation back above this level is likely to continue today," UniCredit says. The DXY US Dollar index is last down 0.1% at 97.5130.(
