EUR/USD up on trade talks, Brexit, looks to NFP
Spot is advancing for the second consecutive session so far on Friday, fully reverting the negative mood seen during the first half of the week and retaking the 1.1400 handle always amidst a renewed sell off in the greenback and the subsequent better mood in the risk-associated universe.
In fact, sellers around the buck stepped in on Thursday following auspicious headlines around the Brexit negotiation, although the selling mood intensified later following easing trade tensions between China and the US.
Today, all the attention will be on the monthly report on the US labour market, where consensus sees the economy to have created more than 190K jobs during last month. In Euroland, final manufacturing PMIs are also due.

At the moment, the pair is up 0.29% at 1.1441 facing the next hurdle at 1.1466 (21-day SMA) seconded by 1.1508 (low May 29) and finally 1.1550 (high Oct.22). On the other hand, a break below 1.1398 (10-day SMA) would target 1.1334 (low Oct.26) en route to 1.1316 (200-week SMA).
