The U.S. dollar fell to a fresh two-year low against the euro on Thursday as traders adjusted their positions ahead of a key U.S. jobs report due late on Friday. The non-farm payrolls report, the most closely watched measure of the health of the U.S. labour market, is expected to reveal that the economy created 120,000 jobs in March, up from 97,000 in the prior month.
The Czech crown soared to two-week highs against the euro late on Thursday after Fitch rating agency left the Czech Republic's long-term foreign currency rating unchanged at "A" with a stable outlook.
