December trades are usually the most difficult trades during the calendar year, where the end of the fourth quarter of the year, and the closure of the whole year, which makes the market very volatile because of the closure of the annual, quarterly and monthly also, as well as the time of a significant decline in liquidity of circulation, Fewer Financial Movements Prices are pushing a lot of points, or a drop in liquidity. Markets may appear very idle. This period is often from December 20 to January 10, because it is a period associated with Christmas and New Year holidays in the world.

US employment data

On the other hand, the first Friday of every calendar month is the date for the disclosure of official US employment data, and it always gives investors and traders a strong view of the movements of the US economy, past and potential, usually accompanied by strong price movements at the time of issue.

US employment data due on Friday (December 7) is showing a negative outlook as the US unemployment rate is expected to stabilize at 3.7%.

It is expected that there will be an increase of 0.1% in the rate of wages per hour compared to the previous reading, in addition to the decrease in the number of non-agricultural jobs to 198 thousand jobs compared to a previous reading of 250 thousand jobs.

Therefore, if any of the three key employment data makes a less than expected reading, the market reaction will be very large and very negative for the USD, which witnessed a massive sell-off during the US session on Thursday.

December started with turbulent price movements as usual this month. The movements of major non-commodity currencies were broadly pricey and un-weighted in a clear direction, and prices remained within our view of each pair separately in a separate report since the beginning of the week.

EUR/USD

Our latest Euro report, "A short-term reversal pattern and a medium-term support level are the most important considerations in the EUR's trading", did not change the beginning of December trading. One of the fundamentals of our vision is that in the short term the EUR is on the cusp of a trend A new bullish according to the technical pattern which is still in the process of formation, which remains in front of him one step to confirm his presence and is breaking the neckline.

The negativity of the US employment data may create a selling momentum for the USD, which could push the EUR to confirm its positive pattern and start a short term uptrend for the EUR.

GBP/USD

Our latest report for the Sterling (The Sterling is in a state of cautious calm, nothing new about the events of the negotiations, and the level of 1.2665 password to buy sterling), our view of the value and stability of 1.2665 is still working with excellence, and it acts as a very important support for sterling in the short term and the average, we consider that near the price of 1.2665 is a strong buying opportunity.
