Session Recap: USD gains across the board

Another quiet session in the FX market, although the USD trades firmer versus most competitors after a stronger-than-expected ADP employment report, which highlights improvement in the labor market ahead of the NFP on Friday. The euro and the pound are at daily lows versus the greenback despite stronger global equities as investors remain cautious ahead of the ECB and BoE policy announcements.

Ranges could persist ahead of key events this week. According to the Wells Fargo analyst team, the US jobs report on Friday might provide some direction for FX markets heading into next week.
