US recap: Euro slips as a soft US jobs report gets downplayed
Nov 1 (Reuters) -The dollar rose Friday amid rising Treasury yields and haven-related buying ahead of U.S. elections next week.
U.S. Treasury yields rebounded from an earlier drop amid doubts about the soft U.S. jobs report, higher oil and a lack of Treasury buyers ahead of next week’s U.S. elections. An above-forecast ISM prices paid index and U.S. share gains helped fuel the rise in yields.
The U.S. jobs data showed nonfarm payrolls increased by 12,000 jobs in October, well below the consensus of a 113,000 increase, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. Disruptions from hurricanes and strikes were said to have distorted the payrolls number.
The FOMC is widely expected to lower its policy rate by 25 basis points when it meets next week.
The euro drifted lower after briefly posting a two-week following the U.S. payrolls report.
The Swiss franc tumbled after a cooler-than-expected inflation report lifted expectations the SNB will slice its policy rate in December.
The pound rallied versus the euro and held gains against the greenback as concerns about the UK budget ebbed. Focus turns to next week’s Bank of England policy meeting.
An Axios report that Iran may be preparing a possible strike on Israel supported crude prices.
Treasury yields were up 3 to 9 basis points as the curve steepened. The 2s-10s spread was up about 5 basis points to +15.8bps.
The S&P 500 rose 0.55% fueled by gains in consumer discretionary shares.
WTI oil was up 0.3% due to heightened Middle East tensions.
Gold fell 0.24% amid higher Treasury yields.
Copper rose 0.7% amid a more favorable risk tone ahead of next week's FOMC.
Heading toward the close: EUR/USD -0.38%, USD/JPY +0.56%, GBP/USD +0.24%, AUD/USD -0.32%, DXY +0.27%, EUR/JPY +0.19%, GBP/JPY +0.81%, AUD/JPY +0.30%.
