The U.S. Dollar Index managed to decline below the support at the 93 level and made an attempt to get to the test of the next support at 92.70 but failed to develop sufficient downside momentum. In case the U.S. Dollar Index declines towards 92.70, AUD/USD will get more support.

Today, trading activity is muted in the foreign exchange market due to Easter holidays. However, traders will have a chance to take a look at important job market data from the U.S.

Non Farm Payrolls report is projected to show that the U.S. economy added 647,000 jobs in March while Unemployment Rate is expected to decline from 6.2% to 6%.

Yesterdays Initial Jobless Claims was worse than expected, but it had little impact on the currency dynamics in the foreign exchange market as traders focused on falling Treasury yields. The yield of 10-year Treasuries has pulled back from the recent highs at 1.77% to 1.67% which was bearish for the U.S. dollar. Bond markets are closed today, so traders will have to wait until next Monday to see whether the pullback continues.
