The EUR/USD pair shot up past 1.1700 on Friday. Boom! It hit around 1.1740. Why? A disappointing US jobs report. Only 22K jobs added in August. Way off the mark. The forex world felt the shock.



Unemployment ticked up a bit. 4.3% now. Got people talking about the Fed's next move. A big rate cut? Maybe. The market seems to think so.

Dollar took a beating. US Dollar Index dropped below 98.00. Ouch. Treasury yields? Nosedived. 10-year at 4.09%, 2-year at 3.50%. Haven't seen that since April.

EUR/USD's testing new heights. Could push higher. 1.1789 in sight? Who knows. Support's still there at 1.1700. 50-day SMA lurking below.

It's not just forex. Gold's on a wild ride. Nearly hit all-time highs. Crypto's a different story. Ethereum's facing some headwinds. Kind of surprising.

What's next? Everyone's watching. Economic indicators. Central bank decisions. It's not entirely clear where EUR/USD's headed. But it'll be an interesting ride.
