XE Market Analysis: North America – Feb 01, 2019

The Dollar has traded mixed into the release of the January U.S. jobs report, losing modest ground to the Euro while holding near net unchanged against the Yen and gaining on the Pound, which took a hit on weak UK data, and the Australian and Canadian Dollars. Risk appetite has been cautious, with most stock markets in Europe and Asia having traded moderately softer. EUR-USD lifted back above 1.1450 on broader, albeit moderate, Euro gains, but has remained below its post-Fed high at 1.1514.
