U.S. Interest Rates on Tap
Following two relatively peaceful trading days, today is filled with news publications from the major economies. Starting at 06:45 and until 09:00 (GMT) traders are advised to follow the news events from the Euro-Zone. Later on, the Crude Oil Inventories will be published at 14:30 (GMT).

This promises to create hefty volatility in the market, which should provide various opportunities for traders to enlarge profits.

USD Falls Slightly then Rebounds Ahead of Tomorrow's NFP Report
This week has been a bumpy ride for the US Dollar. After entering a bullish trend against a number of its currency rivals, the USD appeared set to step onto the world stage and announce the return of the safe-haven. However, a few positive reports in Europe and a level of optimism before the US Non-Farm Payrolls data tomorrow have helped many currencies pare some of the losses against the USD going into this morning's early trading hours. The USD, now appears, however, to be retaking the lead, as if optimism has taken a hit. Today's heavy news cycle and tomorrow's NFP report may be more important than many traders assume. If you're not in the market today and tomorrow, you should be.

Dollar Weakens on Speculation Gulf States May Stop Using Greenback
Growing speculation over the potential end to Dollar-based trading in the oil market has pushed the USD down against 14 of its 16 major counterparts yesterday. A report on Tuesday in the Independent newspaper revived the idea of ending a huge volume of trade of the world's most liquid commodity - Oil in the U.S. Dollar, a potentially major sign of the greenback's fading status. The Dollar weakened after the U.K.-based Independent reported oil-producing Gulf nations are seeking to move to a basket of currencies to settle transactions. Analysts said ending the use of the Dollar as the currency used to settle oil trades between countries would be an easy task, but a move to replace the currency in which oil is priced would require a massive effort .
