Meanwhile, the US dollar is still gaining support after releasing the positive US employment report on Friday, adding 321,000 jobs in November, indicating the continued recovery of the US economy.

The US dollar is expected to keep its recently acquired support, ahead of the US data to be released on Thursday.
