USD fell on the European market on Thursday against a basket of global currencies to resume its losses, which were temporarily suspended yesterday as part of a rebound, as US bond yields fell to the lowest level in almost a year, ahead of important data from the United States on private sector jobs in January December, and other data on the manufacturing sector.

USD index fell more than 0.3% to 96.02 points, where the opening level of 96.36 points, the highest level at 96.36 points.

The index ended yesterday’s trading up 0.6%, its first gain in four days, reversing the three-month low of 95.36 points recorded earlier in the session.

The 10-year US bond yield fell to 2.63%, the lowest level in nearly a year, as doubts about the prospects for US interest rates rise this year as signs of a slowing global economy and its possible negative impact on the US economy are mounting.

Investors are looking for important data from the US on private sector jobs in December and other data on the manufacturing sector, which provide important indicators of the pace of growth of the world’s largest economy in the fourth quarter of last year.

By 17:15 GMT, private sector jobs are expected to rise 179,000 in December from 179,000 in November.
