The USD is the strongest and the GBP is the weakest as NA traders enter for the day

US initial claims today. US Non Farm Payroll tomorrow

The day before the always important US jobs report has the USD the strongest of the major currencies and the GBP as the weakest.  Today, the initial claims will give the most recent look into the US jobs market (est 950K vs 1006K last week).  The major indices are lower today after the Nasdaq and S&P closed at record levels and the Dow closed within 500 points of an all time record in trading yesterday.  The Nasdaq is down the most in pre-market trading with the futures implying losses greater than yesterday’s 116 point gain. Multiple ECB officials are concerned about the reigniting of the Covid in Europe.
