SUBSCRIBE TO FEEDForex trading with the greenback
The U.S. dollar is higher in currency trading on the FX market this morning, thanks to the news that the U.S. economy added jobs. Indeed, the U.S. saw the biggest boost to jobs in three years.
As a result of this news, the U.S. dollar jumped against the sterling and the euro in forex trading, heading higher on stronger economic fundamentals. And there is a good chance that the dollar’s gains won’t ended today by a risk rally.
GFT’s Kathy Lien reports in FX360 on the U.S. dollar:
As for how the dollar could trade for the rest of the day, with the absence of U.S. equity traders, we did not see the risk rally that tends to occur near the U.S. equity market open.
