Greece debts issues still dominated EUR on Thursday. USD softens as positioning before Friday’s
important jobs data. EUR/USD had tested the 1.15 earlier this week but met solid selling on the top, still
consolidating from multi years’ low hit in January. Daily’s Stochastic show divergence suggested the pair
lack of upward momentum, but a disappoint US job data may give a hand. A break of weekly high 1.1534
may expose for the 38.2% retracement at 1.1660.
