Dollar Steady as Investors Monitor Jobs Data and Upcoming Election

Reported 26 days ago

The dollar strengthened against the euro and most major currencies on Friday, bouncing back from earlier weaknesses after a U.S. jobs report revealed a sharp slowdown in job growth for October. Despite nonfarm payrolls rising only 12,000 jobs, the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1%, indicating a resilient labor market. Traders are now focusing on the uncertainties surrounding the upcoming U.S. presidential election and the Federal Reserve's potential interest rate cut, with a 99% chance projected for a cut in the next meeting. The dollar index rose to 104.24.
