NFP shakes the USD

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported strong gains in hiring and wages in October despite rising unemployment. It created a mixed picture as Federal Reserve officials, debating how long their campaign to curb higher inflation will continue. 

The number of non-farm payrolls increased by 261,000 last month after being revised up to 315,000 in September. The unemployment rate rose 0.2 percentage points to 3.7%, more than forecast as participation declined. The average hourly wage increased in October compared to the previous month.

The report says demand for workers remains robust despite rapidly rising interest rates and a bleak economic outlook. Layoffs, although on the rise, are still historically low, and competition to fill millions of vacant positions has led to wages rising rapidly.

The USD dropped after the release. The US Dollar index has lost almost 2400 points and still is staying at the lower level.
