Key quotes
“There were a couple of positive impulses for the greenback from GDP statistics and PMI surveys. But the key release, the labor market report surprised negatively”.
“The increase of 160'000 new jobs and the down-ward revision to the previous months have put the fed's target of 200'000 newly created jobs per month into a far distance”.
“EURUSD rose close to the 1.33, which it had already reached after the Fed's press conference on Wednesday. We still think that EURUSD more room to fall than to rise”.
