EUR/USD recedes to weekly lows near 1.1140 post-NFP
EUR/USD adds to Thursday’s correction, slipping back to the area of multi-day troughs near 1.1140 on the back of the marked recovery of the US Dollar. Indeed, the Greenback regains upside traction after US NFP exceeded estimates in October, while a modest bounce in US Treasury yields across the curve also collaborates with the move.
