The US jobs data surprised on the upside, making an interest rate rise by the Fed more likely in December, so let’s see what’s moving and shaking on the FX Markets. I’m Sinead MacLaughlin.<br />Euro/Dollar is the mover of the day and the pair stands down by 1.44% as it plummeted after the US jobs numbers were released at 1:30 PM GMT.<br />Greenback is by far the most bullish of the 8 majors on the table and it was sent sharply up by the positive employment report.<br />Canadian jobs data was better than expected as well and Loonie Dollar is mostly higher.<br />UK Manufacturing production rose faster than expected and trade deficit contracted, providing a lift for the Sterling.<br />Safe-haven Japanese Yen trades in a close range with a number of majors, including the Swiss Franc.<br />Australian Dollar is close to level with the neighboring Kiwi Dollar and both of the antipodes are near the bottom of the list.<br />Single currency wraps up the advancers and decliners table as the most bearish major.<br />Let’s take a look at longer term performance charts. Dollar/Swissie shows the biggest rise over a week and it’s up by close to 2%. New Zealand/Dollar is the top decliner and it’s more than 3% in the red.<br />Dollar/Swissie has declined the most over a month and it’s down by 3.55%. Euro/Dollar is the most bearish pair and it’s 4.43% in the red.<br />That’s it for this week’s final Movers and shakers report. Have a nice weekend and check back on Monday for more. Goodbye.
