The more i think about it, the more i think that US FEDs going to cut IR first. Yet, you see euro and pounds rapidly declining. Why? That's because UK and Euro Zone are now experiencing the effects of US subprime crisis. US first got into the mess, and by right, US should get out of the mess sooner than the rest of the world. Hence, the dollar rallies to that concept.
We all know the data is all manipulated. Headline inflation few months ago was too low to be believable even. But the ADP numbers and jobless claims already informed the market that the today's NFP won't look good at all. Upon released, the EU and GBP should spike but will later retreat to new lows.
Why i say so ? Simple, with all the bullish news for oil (speculation that OPEC is cutting supply soon), and yet oil prices are still trying to climb up to positive territory. All the OECD and emerging markets PMI had been disappointing and it comes down to supply and demand, ECONOMICS 101. The oil and commodities traders know this very well and are not willing to push oil any higher.
The forex speculators know this very well, they are shorting EU and GBP after relief rallies.

This is the reason why I looking for a reshort on the Red NFP. The market will react on the NFP and send the euro higher than later on they reallize the problem the EUrozone has, they will short and hammer the euro again.
In fact I am looking to short ahead of EURozone data. the data should bring some small bearish to Euro than the NFP will make it back up, then u short again. Thats my plan today unless the Fundamentals data are all lies.
If u remember how FED lying about the inflation CPI number while they are @ cutting IR cycle and at the same time while the oil was surging going up last year. Then u know that this NFP could be a lie also, if NFP is a low and the unemployment is lying the numbers, I might short on the spot.
