BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 09/02/25 08:02 AM EDT

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.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
