Euro Falls Against Dollar on Risk-Off Mood, Non-Farm Payrolls
The euro today fell against the dollar reversing all of yesterday’s gains driven by the risk-off market sentiment after US President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19. The EUR/USD currency pair’s decline was further fueled by the weak inflation data from the euro area, which could derail the bloc’s economic recovery.

The euro today fell against the dollar reversing all of yesterday’s gains driven by the risk-off market sentiment after US President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19. The EUR/USD currency pair’s decline was further fueled by the weak inflation data from the euro area, which could derail the bloc’s economic recovery.
The EUR/USD currency pair today fell from an opening high of 1.1744 in the Australian market to a low of 1.1696 shortly after that before rallying higher and then falling again.
The currency pair’s performance today was influenced by President Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis, which shook investors dousing their risk appetite. The markets’ reaction to the news indicates that most investors expected him to win the November 3 US Presidential Election. The release of the preliminary eurozone consumer price index report for September also did not help the single currency. According to Eurostat, the eurozone’s inflation fell 0.3% in September versus consensus estimates of a 0.2% decline. News that the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is set to meet Boris Johnson tomorrow had a minimal impact on the pair.
The release of the disappointing US non-farm payrolls report for September by the Bureau of Labor Statistics drove the pair lower, despite missing analysts’ expectations. The upbeat University of Michigan US consumer sentiment survey had a muted impact on the pair.
The currency pair’s performance over the weekend is likely to be affected by US dollar dynamics and tomorrow’s meeting.
The EUR/USD currency pair was trading at 1.1709 as at 15:44 GMT having fallen from a high of 1.1744. The EUR/JPY currency pair was trading at 123.39, having dropped from a high of 123.99.
