The EUR/USD currency pair continues to show a steady uptrend. Since the beginning of this week, quotes growth has exceeded 250 points. Investors assess the ECB meeting. The regulator has kept key interest rates unchanged. The Central Bank has increased the crisis bond-buying program by 600 billion euros instead of the expected 500 billion. Currently, EUR/USD quotes are consolidating in the range of 1.1315-1.1380. Investors have taken a wait-and-see attitude before today’s US labor market report for May. Experts forecast quite pessimistic labor statistics. We recommend paying attention to the difference between the actual and forecasted values. Positions should be opened from key levels.
