Here are the details of the economic calendar from July 1:

In terms of the economic calendar, Europe released its final unemployment data for May, where the previous figure was revised upward from 8.0% to 8.1%, but the current data came out better than expected - a decline to 7.9 %.

* The unemployment rate is the ratio of the number of unemployed to the number of workers [the sum of employed and unemployed], defined as a percentage. This indicator is prepared by the Statistical Service of the European Union (Eurostat).

The divergence of expectations on the unemployment rate led to an increase in the value of the Euro currency during the publication of statistical data. The most striking price movement is observed for 15 minutes.

The weekly data on applications for unemployment benefits in the US was published at 12:30 pm Universal time (June 1), where the indicators were not as bad as they might seem.

• The volume of repeated applications for benefits rose from 3,413 thousand to 3,469 thousand.
• The volume of initial applications for benefits fell from 415 thousand to 364 thousand.

* Applications for unemployment benefits reflect the number of currently unemployed citizens and those receiving unemployment benefits. This indicator is considered to be the state of the labor market, where the growth of the indicator negatively affects the level of consumption and economic growth. The reduction of applications for benefits has a positive effect on the labor market.

In simple terms, the decline in the number of initial applications prevailed in the speculators' decision to take dollar positions in the market.
