What you need know on Wednesday, December 6 is as follows:
On Tuesday, the US Dollar (USD) surpassed its competitors for the second day in a row, as the USD Index reached its highest point in almost two weeks. With investors awaiting the release of the November ADP Employment Change report, the USD Index maintains its weekly gains at 104.00. Unit Labor Costs for the third quarter and the Goods Trade Balance for October will also be included in the US economic docket. In the latter part of the day, the Bank of Canada (BoC) will make its interest rate announcement.
According to US data released on Tuesday, the service sector's economic activity grew in November at a faster rate than anticipated. From 9.35 million in September to 8.7 million in October, fewer jobs were available. Even if the USD's gains in the early American session were capped by the mixed data, the cautious market sentiment helped the currency gain strength by the close of the day.

In Forex trading, even small fluctuations can make a significant difference, especially over the long term.
