Fundamental view

The initial jobless claims in the US probably fell to 311 000 in the week ended June 21st, from 312 000 a week ago, according to the median estimate by experts.

The statistical arm of the US Department of Labor will release an official report at 12:30 GMT today. If jobless claims fall more than expected, this will provide support for the US dollar.

In addition, personal income in the US probably rose 0.4% in May, according to the median analysts’ estimate. At the same time, personal spending probably increased 0.4% last month, following an unexpected 0.1% drop in April.

The official report is due out at 12:30 GMT. In case, both indicators register a larger-than-expected gain, this would boost greenback’s demand.
