EUR/USD up to 1.1100 from 1.1045 before jobs report

The euro has made steady gains in US trading after a blip lower on non-farm payrolls. I suspect some modest optimism about a collapse in the Tsipras government is lending a slight bid and a generally weak US dollar is doing the rest.

EUR/USD has been choppy in the wake of non-farm payrolls, the pair hit a session high of 1.1120 after the data but the gains were immediately wiped out in a fall back to 1.1075. Since then, a steady climb has been underway. Watch for some selling on position squaring as US traders head to the beach.
