*** Release of stronger than forecast...>

EURO-DOLLAR: *** Release of stronger than forecast Germany Factory Orders

provided the added impetus to take rate back above $1.1700, though only from

around $1.1699 to $1.1705. Underlying strong Usd seen providing the counter.

Resistance seen at the earlier Asian high of $1.1716 ahead of $1.1735. Focus on

today's key US Employment Report (1230GMT). Forecasts have been wide, having

been marked down due to expected hurricane effects with median seen at 80k.

Expect some reaction to the headline release but more attention to be placed on

accompanying AHE, median 0.3%mm. MNI Reality Check would tend to suggest little

negative effect seen from the hurricanes. Eur/Usd support seen at $1.1686(Asia

low) with demand having been reported in recent sessions into $1.1680. Stops

noted through $1.1680/75.
