EUR/USD Forecast: All aboard Trump's trade turnaround train, NFP eyed

• The EUR/USD extends its rally on Trump's trade turnaround.
• The Non-Farm Payrolls stands out as the week draws to an end.
• The technical picture has turned bullish for the pair.

The EUR/USD is trading around 1.1430, up for a second consecutive day. November is a mirror image to October, at least in its first two days. After the pair created a double-bottom at 1.1300 on October 31st, it is surging.

Trump turnaround

The turnaround in stocks which began earlier in the week was further fueled by Trump's turnaround on trade. After the US President tweeted about a productive meeting with President Xi Jinping of China, Bloomberg reported that he asked his cabinet to draft a trade deal with the world´s second-largest economy and a rival.

Is Trump trying to push stocks higher ahead of the Mid-Term Elections? Many look at the upcoming vote on November 6th and suspect the rhetoric is hollow. Nevertheless, the leaders will meet at the end of the month in Buenos Aires, on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit, and an agreement cannot be ruled out. Calm on the trade front will remove a dark cloud over the global economy. 

The resulting risk-on atmosphere sent the US Dollar and the Japanese Yen lower across the board, and the Euro is taking advantage of it.

Another source of hope came from Brexit negotiations. A report about an agreement on financial services sparked a rally in the Pound and also helped the Euro. 

Other issues have been put aside. Italy and the European Commission are still at loggerheads about Italy's budget deficit. The political uncertainty in Germany is also a source of concern.

Nevertheless, the greenback has been on the back foot. Here are 5 reasons for the broad USD sell-off

Non-Farm Payrolls are here

The figures lead up to the all-important Non-Farm Payrolls report due today. The US is expected to report a gain of around 190K jobs and an acceleration in wage growth to 3.1%.
