According to Jinshi, the dollar fell ahead of the release of US employment data, which could change the Fed's expectations of rate cuts. Antje Praefcke, a foreign exchange analyst at Commerzbank, said the dollar may "oscillate back and forth" on Wednesday and Thursday, but "hardly anyone will risk a heavy position in one direction" because Friday's report will be decisive. She also pointed out that the August employment data is particularly important, after the July report had already sparked speculation of a larger rate cut.
