In the energy space, the Brent (front month) is trading weaker for the day at $73.18; next support at $70.94, resistance at $75.50. In terms of data, the Australian retail sales was a beat (0.4% vs 0.3% expected) while UK services PMI missed (53.5 vs 54.7 expected). The main focus remains the US NFP; in our view, the US non-farm payrolls and average earnings likely show the way for short-term USD direction.
