For the AUD, anticipated declines in PMI may be negative, while the EUR faces mixed signals from rising unemployment and ECB speeches. The USD's labor indicators suggest stability but with concerns of softening, potentially affecting the currency negatively. Conversely, the GBP shows inflationary pressures that could support it, and the JPY benefits from robust consumer confidence. Overall, today's figures seem mixed, with particular attention necessary for eurozone unemployment dynamics and US job data later in the day.
