The US dollar is trading steadily, and the delayed employment data is about to be released.

The dollar traded steadily as investors await the delayed release of US employment data to look for clues on whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again next month. The September nonfarm payrolls report will be released on Thursday after the government reopens. The market will also analyze the minutes of the Fed meeting released on Wednesday and the US Purchasing Managers Index data released on Friday. Federal Reserve officials have been cautious about cutting interest rates recently, given the lack of data during the government shutdown. "The outcome of the December meeting is uncertain because the Fed still does not have enough data to form a conclusion," Jefferies economist Mohit Kumar said in a report. The DXY US dollar index remained unchanged at 99.336.
