The post EUR/USD appreciates further with the US Dollar on its back foot appeared com. EUR/USD extends gains for the eighth consecutive day on Friday, trading at 1. 1640 at the time of writing on Friday, on track for a 0. 6% rally this week. The pair has drawn support from a weaker US Dollar, with investors anticipating a raft of weak economic data next week, as US authorities will release the macroeconomic figures delayed due to the government shutdown.

This Friday, the focus shifts to the second reading of the Q3 Eurozone Gross Domestic Product, while in the US, more speeches from Fed officials will provide the fundamental guidance for the Greenback.
