Sep 2, 2025 5:24 AM

08:02 AM EDT, 09/02/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The US dollar rose against its major trading partners early Tuesday after the long US holiday weekend and before a busy week that concludes with the August employment report Friday.

Tuesday's schedule starts with manufacturing data for August from S&P Global at 9:45 am ET and the Institute for Supply Management at 10:00 am ET, at the same time as construction spending data for July, and consumer sentiment data for September from RealClearMarkets. The Atlanta Fed is expected to update its gross domestic product Nowcast estimate around midday.

Highlights Wednesday include weekly Redbook same-store sales, job openings data for August and the Fed's Beige Book.

Thursday's highlights include ADP private payrolls data for August, weekly jobless claims, nonmanufacturing data from S&P Global and ISM, and weekly natural gas stocks inventories.

Friday's nonfarm payrolls employment data for August will be the main release for the week, especially after disappointing jobs gain readings over the last few months.

EUR/USD fell to 1.1628 from 1.1712 at the Monday close and 1.1726 at the same time Monday morning.
