XE Market Analysis: North America – Oct 05, 2018

The dollar majors have been directionally limited as the upcoming U.S. employment report curbs activity and commitment. EUR-USD has been anchored around the 1.1500 mark, above yesterday’s six-week low at 1.1463. Concerns about the budgetary prudence of Italy’s coalition government have returned, and we continue to favour EUR-USD’s downside, a view rooted to the strong fundamental credentials of the dollar, which we expect will be on full display at today’s release of the U.S. jobs report.
