FXPrimus has summarized the important market indicators of the week.

THIS WEEK’S INDICATORS

DOLLAR rose against majors last Friday following a strong employment report closing the week on a neutral footing.

The Greenback had experienced a substantial sell-off before the Friday despite the broadly bullish economic data releases; the gain was the boost he DOLLAR needed.

EURO and POUND ended the weekly session on the same note; indecision candles.

GOLD and OIL longest rallies halted as DOLLAR pushed higher.

This week starts on a heavy footing on the fundamentals but during the week, heavier data is expected from central banks.
