While major U.S. stock indexes keep marking record closing levels, upbeat U.S. economic growth suggests the Federal Reserve would not cut interest rates very soon. 

Investors are watching closely the coming week’s U.S. official jobs report, checking if the labor market remains resilient, in which case expectations of the Fed cutting rates soon could cool further. 

According to Multi-Stock Trading LLC's "Economic Insight", addition of Non-Farm Payrolls may slow to 175,000 in January with the Unemployment Rate staying at 3.7%.

In the past 12 U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls Reports, EUR/USD fell in 58% of times (7 out of 12 events) within one hour from the report’s release, marking a trading range of 54.77 pips on average.
