The dollar was steady in early trading on Tuesday, while the euro was little changed. A weaker-than-expected jobs report has bolstered the case for a 50 bps cut by the Fed this month.


Analysts say that such a decision will not spook investors as opinion on the forthcoming meeting remains hotly divided. It could be hard to stay optimistic as warning signs are not only flashing in the US.
