Reads like you'll have a relaxed weekend like me in order to get fully recharged for next week!

On the subject of recharging, I'm off to bed for a few hours. Chat later.

Stuff

Market focus is on the US NFP report and the likely reaction in the USD on the back of a good number. Will a sell-off in US rates outweigh the risk-on USD selling mode? Late yesterday, GS research revised their forecast for NFP from -300K to -250K. We continue to forecast a 9.7% unemployment rate in July. Following weekly jobless claims yesterday, 150-350k drops are the ranges most discussed. Hence, the risk is rather skewed towards the market being disappointed and with market positioned long EURUSD, we could be in for a correction lower in spot. As an indication, 1-Week 1.42 EURp/USDc cost 40 pips (off spot 1.4365). Downside to this trade is also limited with option-related selling in the 1.4420-50 aea (barriers around 1.4450-4500). Good luck.
