PANews reported on January 10 that according to Jinshi, Michael Brown, senior research strategist at Pepperstone, said, "I think the non-farm payrolls report will only encourage the dollar to continue to rise, which has been the market's preference for some time, and will certainly help reinforce the theme of "American exceptionalism" and should keep the Fed relatively hawkish compared to other members of the G10 group. The biggest risk to the bullish view of the dollar is that market participants may seek to take profits/cut positions before Trump's inauguration early next week."
