USD: Tight trading ranges has been the state of play with major USD pairs, despite the release of the NFP report. (full story) The fact of the matter remains the same, the Fed are on pause for the foreseeable, thus diminishing the impact that the jobs data has had on FX markets.

EUR: The Euro trades with marginal losses as we close out the week.
