Fundamental view

United States

Employers in all sectors of economy in the United States, excluding the farming industry, probably added 219 000 new jobs last month, according to the median forecast by experts, after a job gain of 288 000 in April. Aprils gain was the biggest since May 2010. Creation of jobs is considered of utmost importance for consumer spending, while the latter is a major driving force behind economic growth. In case of a larger than expected gain in jobs, the US currency would receive a boost.

In addition, the rate of unemployment in the United States probably increased to 6.4% last month from 6.3% in April, that was the weakest since September 2008. In case the rate meets expectations or even drops further, this would have a bullish effect on the greenback.

Both reports are due to be released at 12:30 GMT.

Switzerland

The annualized index of consumer prices (CPI) in Switzerland probably rose 0.1% in May, after it remained flat in April. In monthly terms, consumer prices probably gained 0.2% last month, following a 0.1% advance in April. In case the CPI accelerated more than anticipated, this would have a bullish effect on the franc. The official report is to be released at 7:15 GMT.

Technical view
