Morning, Traders!
It is Wednesday the 31st of May, and we get the first of three US jobs reports this week.
Here are some things to look out for today.

Sentiment
The dollar rose against all of its Group-of-10 counterparts this morning, while the euro fell to its lowest level in more than two months.
Eurozone government bonds rallied across the curve after inflation figures for a German state and France came in lower than expected. Still, they were slightly pared after similar data for Italy exceeded expectations.
Traders reduced their bets on the European Central Bank raising interest rates further and no longer fully price in an additional 50 basis points this year.

The debt-limit agreement reached by President Biden and Speaker McCarthy is set to be voted on today in the House of Representatives, after clearing a critical procedural hurdle with only days to avoid a US default.
