The U.S. Dollar is down this morning against G10 currencies as markets focus on key economic data, including a surprising drop in ADP Private Payrolls and the upcoming ISM Services PMI. With the Federal Reserve in a communication blackout ahead of next week’s policy meeting, today’s data is critical, as markets currently expect a 93.9 percent chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut. The Euro is gaining momentum, up nearly half a percent, supported by better-than-expected PMI figures, while the British Pound is the top G10 performer, rising nearly three-quarters of a percent due to strong PMI data and easing political concerns. Stay tuned for Friday’s PCE Composite data, which could further shape market expectations.
