This afternoon at 1.30 sees the monthly release of US "non-farm payrolls" - the main employment statistic in the States each month.
Non-farms often causes a lot of volatility in the best rates for sending money to the USA, because the figure released is often a lot better or worse than expected. If more jobs have been created than the expected figure of 15,000, the US Dollar is likely to gain strength, making exchange rates worse again.
The US Dollar is gaining some momentum now, with rates significantly below $1.60. If you have payments to make in USD, contact your currency broker for the latest information and commercial exchange rates.
