EURUSD rallies on weak US jobs data for Best day since November 2023

The EURUSD currency pairs experienced a strong rally and continued to gain momentum. The European currency surged to log its best trading day since November, driven by a substantial sell-off in the US dollar following dismal nonfarm payrolls data. Euro climbed to a session high, erasing the losses accumulated over the past couple of weeks. The bullish sentiment carried on. The US dollar was heavily impacted by the weak jobs report, which showed that the US economy added only 114,000 jobs in July, well below the expected 174,000. This miss raised concerns about the strength of the US labour market, particularly with interest rates sitting at a 23-year high. Read more for a detailed analysis of why EURUSD rallies here.

Disclaimer:

Recent strength from the euro is also attributed to a broader shift in market sentiment, with traders looking for safer havens amid concerns about the US economy. This shift has provided the euro with a significant boost, allowing it to recover from recent lows and move towards higher levels. Traders are advised to prioritize proper risk management to make well-informed trading decisions.
