Since Tuesday, US central bankers have made comments that they could cut interest rates. In addition, incoming data for various sectors confirms that the Federal Reserve could reduce rates. Moreover, the head of the Fed Jerome Powell has commented that easing could be done, if inflation continues to ease. Due to this reason, the US Dollar has declined in value.

On the EUR/USD charts these events have resulted in a surge, which has broken resistance at 1.0780 and the 1.0800 mark. On Thursday morning, the pair confirmed the 1.0840 level as support and extended the surge, aiming at the 1.0900 mark. The rate could surge to this level, before the Friday's US employment data publication.

Economic Calendar Analysis

On Friday, one of the top events will take place. The US employment data sets will be published at 12:30 GMT. The US release will consist of the Unemployment Rate, Non-Farm Employment Change and the Average Hourly Earnings change.

On the other hand, a decline is set to look for support in the weekly R1 at 1.0847 and the 1.0840 level, before reaching the combination of the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages and the weekly simple pivot point near the 1.0800 mark.
