Daily Market Update

January 09, 2026

EUR/USD ranged from the low to mid 1.16’s overnight. The dollar gained on Friday after data showed slower than expected U.S. jobs growth and as financial markets braced for a probable Supreme Court decision that could strike down President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The U.S. economy added 50,000 jobs in December, according to Labor Department data on Friday. That was lower than an estimate of 60,000 jobs growth forecast by economists polled by Reuters.

The dollar rose across peer currencies as the data suggests the Federal Reserve could leave interest rates unchanged later this month.

The greenback was up 0.38% to 157.42 against the Japanese yen and was up 0.09% against the Swiss franc .

The euro was down 0.14% against the dollar at $1.1644. The dollar index rose 0.13% to 99.01.

Our Clients are Thrilled

There is a big move toward transparency in FX, but then it can be impossible to actually talk to a real person. With Paymentearth, they analyzed my business, gave me a fixed rate, and I can call them anytime. Frankly, they’re just straight-up, and I appreciate that.

Almost any bank can help get a wire out, if that’s all you need. Paymentearth goes above and beyond for us though, and for a small business like ours, it makes a big difference to get such expert service. Of course, the rates are good too!
MarciaOwnerVirginia
Paymentearth makes uploading an excel file of all my monthly payments very easy! I upload it on their site and I’m able to print a confirmation in minutes! When we combine this with transparency and knowing our exact spread, it is a no brainer!
MarionCFOFlorida
In my experience, banks are only willing to bend over backward if you’re a giant company. I’ve never felt that with Paymentearth. These guys are upfront, they’re knowledgeable, and they genuinely seem to value my business. It’s actually a pretty good feeling.
JohnCEOIllinois
We used to use three FX companies in order to keep the rate reasonable. With Paymentearth, they walked us through how to calculate the exact spread we get on every deal! A big time saver and a great way to do business!

My guy at Paymentearth took the time to explain how Forward Contracts work, and how they can help my business. My bank never gave me half the attention of Paymentearth.

It’s not often that we need foreign cash, but it’s very convenient to order what we need from Paymentearth, and have one less thing to worry about before the trip.
