EUR/USD weakens on Friday as the US Dollar (USD) rallies following a stronger-than-expected US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report. At the time of writing, the pair trades around 1.1559, slipping to two-month lows.
The Euro (EUR) moves higher for the third consecutive day against the British Pound (GBP) on Friday, although bulls are failing to find acceptance above 0.8655.
Sterling is standing on a bet that gets harder to justify by the week. Markets still lean toward Bank of England (BoE) rate hikes this year, even as the economy beneath the Pound flashes contraction rather than the overheating that would normally warrant tighter policy.
