FXStreet (Córdoba) – EUR/USD reached a fresh daily high only to quickly pullback as the greenback wavered following the release of the latest series of US data.
US jobless claims jumped to 276K in the week ended Oct 31, hitting a 2-month high, versus 264K expected. Meanwhile, labor costs rose by 1.4% in Q3 versus 2.3% expected.

With no first-tier data scheduled for the rest of the session, attention shifts to the US nonfarm payrolls report due tomorrow.
