Globally, the green currency is experiencing a strengthening driven by data published in the United States, which exceeded expectations.
“The main contribution to the appreciation of the dollar during the day came from the report on the unemployment rate, since it was anticipated 3.8% and the result was 3.7%. This indicator reflects the solidity of the US labor market and reinforces the perception that in March, the Federal Reserve (FED) would not carry out a reduction in interest rates,” explained Alison Pérez, trader at Divisas de Renta4 SAB.
