The markets saw relatively little movement during Asian trading last night, as investors were hesitant to open new positions ahead of today’s all-important US Non-Farm Payrolls figure. The EUR/USD remained close to a 2-week high for most of the night, and the pair is currently trading just above the 1.3000 level. Gold hit a fresh 11-month high at $1795.72 before staging a slight downward correction and dropping to its current price of $1791.40.
