The unemployment rate was aided by a labor market that has proved resilient amid the decline of employment across the rest of Europe. Economists were predicting that the German economy had lost 7K jobs in May after gaining 19K jobs in April; however, no jobs were lost (or gained). When compared to other major economies, such as the United Kingdom or the United States, the German labor market looks relatively resilient; whose counterparts have unemployment rates of 8.2 percent and 8.1 percent, respectively. When compared to other Euro-zone countries, such as France, Italy, or Spain, the German labor market is that much more impressive; these countries have unemployment rates of 9.4 percent, 24.1 percent, and 8.8 percent, respectively.
The Euro gained across the board, most notably against the safe haven currencies, the Japanese Yen and the US Dollar. The EURJPY appreciated from 97.71 to as high as 97.94, while the EURUSD rallied from 1.2393 to as high as 1.2416
After setting a fresh 2012 low today at 1.2358, the pair has rebounded approximately 50-pips, setting up a Hammer candlestick on the daily chart. Typically, this price action indicates bulls closed out the session stronger than the bears, signaling a potential shift in momentum. Indeed, shorter-term charts suggest that rallies may advance as high as 1.2460/80, and it would take a significant fundamental catalyst to drive the pair back above 1.2500. As such, with two key US data releases today with quantitative easing expectations – the ADP employment report and the first quarter GDP revision – it’s very possible the EURUSD rallies up towards 1.2500 ahead of the US cash equity open.
