The U.S. dollar little changed ahead of today's employment data release. A median forecast from economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal suggests that the number of employed outside agricultural sector rose by 183,000 in October after a 142,000 increase in September. Analysts say that a strong report will intensify expectations for a rate hike in December.
The yen declined after Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda's speech. He said that he will study changes in the economy and make optimal decisions at every meeting. This means that Kuroda is ready to add more stimulus.
The Australian dollar was under pressure amid Australian GDP and inflation forecasts, which were released today. The Reserve Bank of Australia cut its 2015 GDP forecast to 2.25% from 2.5%. 2017 GDP forecast was lowered to 2.75%-3.75% from 3%-4%. The bank also cut its 2016 core inflation forecast to 1.5%-2.5% from 2%-3%. Inflation is expected to rise later on.
