Quick Take
New U.S. jobs data reveals intriguing market dynamics. The unemployment rate held steady at 3.8%, though the consensus estimate was a slight dip to 3.7%. The non-farm payrolls, a critical economic indicator, defied consensus estimates of 170,000, with the actual figure coming in at a more robust 336,000.
In response, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) and U.S. bond yields experienced an upward trend, underscored by a 2% rise in the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note. This indicates a positive investor sentiment toward the U.S. economy, fueled by the stronger-than-expected jobs data.
