XE Market Analysis: Asia – Mar 08, 2019

The Dollar gave up some ground to end the week, seeing the DXY fall from 97.49 to lows of 97.25 following the weaker U.S. jobs report. Dollar selling after the data was relatively muted, likely due to the impact that weather had on the report. EUR-USD rallied from session lows of 1.1215 to 1.1246 highs. Following the dovish ECB turn on Thursday, traders were hesitant to push the Euro too far. USD-JPY fell to 110.78 lows, though managed to recover to 111.20 as Wall Street pared losses at mid-session.
