THE Australian dollar closed little changed in contrast to volatile trading earlier in the week, with traders on the sidelines ahead of key US employment data.
和本周前段时间的跌宕起伏相比，今天澳元波澜不惊。交易者在场边观望即将发布的关键美国的就业数据。
At 5pm (AEST) on Friday, the local unit was trading at $US0.9080/84, up from Thursday's close of $US0.9072/75.
周五5点，澳对美收于0.9080/84，高于昨日收盘价0.9072/75
Since 7am, the local currency traded between $US0.9116 and $US0.9067, according to IRESS data.
根据IRESS数据，自从今早7点，澳对美在0.9116和0.9067间波动。
Commonwealth Bank currency strategist Joseph Capurso said the local unithad a quiet trading day after a volatile week.
Commonweath银行的外汇专家Joseph Capurso说本地货币在经过了一周的剧烈震荡后度过了平静的一天。
"In terms of the week that was, it was pretty volatile and we're going to have a pretty bumpy ride over the next seven or eight days," he said.
就整个一周来说，澳元起伏很大。 之后7，8天也会非常动荡。
"It's been a pretty boring day."
不过今天很没劲。
National accounts data during the week showed the domestic economy grew by an
unexpectedly rapid 3.3 per cent for the year to June.
本周发布的国家经济数据显示上个财年经济出乎意料的增长了3.3
Mr Capurso said the data lead him to expect a bullish statement from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) following its monthly board meeting and subsequent interest rate decision next Tuesday.
Capurso说强劲的数据使他预测RBA会在月度董事会议和利率决定后发表看涨的言论。
He said market expectations were for the RBA to hold the cash rate steady at 4.5 per cent.
None of the 15 economists surveyed by AAP today expected a rate rise.
他指出市场预测RBA会维持4.5%的利率不变。 15位受到AAP调查的经济学家都这么认为。
Market attention today was on key US jobs data during the offshore session, Mr Capurso said.
The US Department of Labour is expected to publish its much anticipated non-farm payrolls data for August and it is not expected to paint a rosy picture about the US employment situation.
The jobless rate is forecast to rise marginally to 9.6 per cent from 9.5 per cent the previous month, and 105,000 jobs are expected to have been lost in August.
市场关注的热点是今天收市以后将发布的美国就业数据。 Mr Capurso说，美国劳工部将在今天发布广为期待的8月非农就业数据。 这个数据不会给现在的美国就业形势增色。失业率预测会从9.5%微涨到9.6%， 8月份有105，000份工作消失。
Mr Capurso said he expected the private sector employment component of the US series to have the most effect on markets.
Mr Capurso说他预计美国经济中的私企这环是影响市场的重要因素。
"Everyone is waiting for the big one tonight," he said.
大家都在等这个数据。
"The risks are the private sector will be weaker than expected.
风险在于私营公司表现比预期的要弱。
"It suggests ... a bigger negative than has been factored in."
这可能导致情况比预计的还遭。
