Friday’s dip in US nonfarm payrolls and lower overall employment data sent the Dollar Index lower. The greenback is now expected to trade between 100.30 and 99.30/99.00 in the near term.
This dollar weakness is keeping the euro in a tight band around 1.1500–1.1600, with no clear breakout yet.
Meanwhile, USD/JPY has staged a recovery and looks poised to challenge the 159 level in upcoming sessions.
