For now, many Forex traders are waiting for more information before making new moves. Payrolls data is expected from the United States later this week, and many are waiting to see if it will confirm suspicions that the Fed is getting ready to raise rates.
Next week, the European Central Bank will meet to discuss interest rate policy and announce a decision. There are still questions about quantitative easing and what comes next for the euro and the eurozone.
