Summary: This week, all eyes turn to US jobs data and Powell’s testimony, pivotal in gauging the Fed's trajectory. Despite potential dollar weakness from a NFP miss, FX focus may lean towards crosses over dollar pairs. EUR braces for ECB, while GBP awaits fiscal cues. China's policy direction during the two-sessions could sway AUD more than the yuan. Swiss CPI could impact March rate cut speculations, while NZD's carry appeal remains a steady beacon amidst the flux. Stay vigilant as the market interprets these key events, shaping FX trajectories in the week ahead.
