EURUSD
EURUSD was little changed today, trading at $1.0833, the highest since November 2024, after it gained by more than 3% in a week, the best weekly performance since November 2022. EUR’s strength was due to USD weakness, softer than expected US nonfarm payrolls in February, and the ongoing chaos because of Trump’s tariffs. EZ economy grew by 0.2% in Q4/ QoQ, 1.2% YoY, stronger than the estimates which was another catalyst to bet higher on EUR.
