Today, traders should pay attention to the ADP Employment Report in the private sector of the United States. This report is expected to demonstrate employment growth at a level of 195,000. This result is quite promising and may indicate a possible decrease in the unemployment rate. Such a development, of course, would contribute to the strengthening of the dollar. At the same time, the second estimate of the U.S. GDP for the second quarter probably won't attract much attention, as it is likely to confirm the initial estimate, which is already factored into the market.
