Mid-Day Report: Swiss Franc and Yen Jump after Poor ADP Job Data

Markets are driven by economic data today. Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen are both sharply high in early US session after disappointing US job data. The ADP employment report showed that private job market in US expanded by merely 38k in May, much lower than market's expectation of 178k. That was indeed the worst number since September. It raised worries that Friday's Non-farm payroll report is going to miss expectation of 190k growth. The Challenger report also showed planned layoff rose 1.8% in May while year-over-year, it dropped - 4.3%. USD/CHF dives to new record low of 0.8426 so far while USD/JPY is back below 81 level.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD –Buy at 1.0600

As aussie has maintained a firm undertone after staging a strong rebound from 1.0440 (last week's low), suggesting the correction from 1.1012 has possibly ended and mild upside bias remains for gain to indicated upside target at 1.0793 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.1012-1.0440) but a sustained breach of this level is needed to confirm this view and extend rise towards 1.0840/50 later.
