It is likely that most market participants prefer to stay on the sidelines amid all the uncertainty, speculation and rumors. Aside from the fair number of econ data that will be released today, we will also get US employment numbers tomorrow (due to Friday being a public holiday in the US), and the market tends to calm down pre-NFP.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn EUR\/USD, imminent support now eyed at 1.1110, followed by 1.1050. The key short-term support level remains 1.0950, Monday&#39;s low. To the topside, decent selling interest appeared above 1.1250 and 1.1275 is the key level to watch. USD\/JPY bounced off the 122.00 level and closed the day above. Key support seen at 121.50\/60, while the key levels to the topside are 123.18 and 123.80 (Friday&#39;s close). USD\/JPY is the only major pair that hasn&#39;t filled the weekend gap yet.\n<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t<strong>Upcoming Events:<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t08:45 BST &#8211; Italian Manufacturing PMI\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t08:50 BST &#8211; French Manufacturing PMI\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t08:55 BST &#8211; German Manufacturing PMI\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t09:00 BST &#8211; Euro Zone Manufacturing PMI\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t09:30 BST &#8211; UK Manufacturing PMI\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t13:15 BST &#8211; US ADP Nonfarm Employment Change\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t14:45 BST &#8211; US Manufacturing PMI\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t15:00 BST &#8211; US ISM Manufacturing PMI\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Markets: Asian stock markets: Nikkei up 0.30 %, Shanghai Composite fell 0.40 %, Hang Seng gained 1.10 %, ASX rose 0.50 % Commodities: Gold at $1173 (-0.50 %), Silver at $15.67 (-0.15 %), WTI Oil at $58.75 (+0.70 %), Brent Oil at $63.00 (-0.70 %) Rates: US 10 year yield at 2.36, UK 10 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wednesday-1st-july-european-open-briefing\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Wednesday 1st July: European Open Briefing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12469,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13938"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13941,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13938\/revisions\/13941"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
