MNI: ### As traders await the release of today's NFP (MNI expectations of 70K),

traders have started to comment that they believe the hurricane issues have

already been priced into the dollar. The other factor that traders are talking

about is that if the data comes way under the expectations, it will not effect

the FED's decision to raise rates this coming December. (MNI's PINCH predict a

70% chance of a hike in December up from 68%. Please contact sales for more

details on PINCH). - A senior trader commented that he believes the number will

come in above 100K and expects a continued rally in the greenback.

- Another trader noted that the US economy has shown that they are in good

economic shape, so should we see a weak number (which he stated he does not

believe we will) it will only have a short term negative effect on the dollar.

They also stated that any dips in the dollar would be a good opportunity to buy.

- A US based source said in a medium term view he believes, the dollar will

remain bid and looks to see eur/usd at $1.1500 by the end of October.
