What we think

Both GBPUSD and EURUSD tested prior resistance levels overnight without any follow through. These levels could well be tested this afternoon with the release of the Bureau of Labour Statistics' payroll revisions in the year through to March. As ever, anything to suggest that the job market is faring worse than expected, and we will likely see projections for three Fed rate cuts this year firm up causing a weaker USD.
