US dollar under pressure with little on the economic calendar

A look at today’s economic calendar shows why many Americans might have opted for a five-day weekend. The lone items are June employment trends at 10 am ET and consumer credit at 3 pm ET. Neither are market movers and the Fed calendar is also bare.

Cable is the most-interesting chart as it gains for the sixth day and nears the June and March highs.
