The EUR/USD pair is currently consolidating its position near the lows of the previous session. The range is limited by 1.1430 and 1.1450. Today’s US labor market data will give the way out of the range. Risk appetite remains relatively high in the broad market and was one of the main reasons why the Euro was able to limit the decline significantly above 1.14, which acted as stable support during the week.

The US Dollar recovered in a broad market amid the upbeat new home sales data. The greenback also received support on the news that the US-China trade deal was postponed again, despite the fact that both sides expressed optimism about the progress and key issues that are being resolved, as expected. The US President Donald Trump announced a meeting with China and North Korea leaders at the end of February 2019. He hopes for a trade agreement during the meeting.
