| The US Dollar was mixed, up against the Euro yet lower vs the Japanese Yen after data showed US non-farm payrolls lost 190,000 jobs in October, while the unemployment rate climbed to 10.2%. Payrolls have declined for 22 consecutive months while the unemployment rate was the highest since April 1983. Currency markets had forecasted payrolls to drop by 175,000 and for the jobless rate to edge up to 9.9% from the 9.8% level in September. The losses in jobs for August and September were revised to show 91,000 fewer jobs lost than previously reported. The weaker than expected jobs data boosted risk aversion. The Canadian Dollar fell against the greenback after Canadian jobs data showed an unexpected drop in employment while the jobless rate jumped to 8.6% from 8.4% in September. |
