On Friday, the EUR/USD currency pair snapped its three-day losing streak. It put in a firm ascent above the key 1.1300-level during the European day. Traders are still in the midst of aggressively repricing expectations for big economic developments. They’re looking ahead to the US Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) release and the European Union Consumer Price Index (CPI). The recent sign of profit-taking caused a decline in the US Dollar and helped the euro climb.
For the EUR/USD Friday was Friday’s rebound from Friday’s low point represents a rise to its highest level since early September. This development represents a significant comeback as the currency pair had formerly been mired in strain. Traders are taking advantage of the opportunity that the US Dollar’s decline has presented. They are taking advantage of the relatively favorable euro exchange rate.
During these next key economic indicators, traders should remain focused on with the approaching US NFP release. In doing so, this report will look to increase understanding of job growth and the overall economic health of the United States. Likewise, the EU CPI report will provide a clearer picture of inflation trends in the Eurozone. Each of these events will be closely analyzed by market participants, as each will shape the trajectory of monetary policy decisions in the coming months.
Sentiment seemed to turn decidedly bullish as the main EUR/USD currency pair climbed back above 1.1300. The euro’s last three days of declines — its longest stretch of losses since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — had some traders worried about further euro weakness.
