Global Finance Report WEEKLY MARKET COMMENTARY
Non-Farm Payrolls contracted for September, largely attributable to the hurricanes that hit Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, while the unemployment rate continued to fall (4.2%). The disappointment was short-lived as markets digested and moved on. Average earnings rose and the US labour remains strong and healthy. The Dollar remained steady, with the EUR trading 1.1730, while the GBP slipped to 1.3050. Commodity currencies have been victims of the resurgent Dollar, with the AUD falling to 0.7777, while the NZD dipped below 0.7100. The coming week will be highlighted by growth, in the form of inflation and GDP numbers, in both the US and Europe. Trade data, from China and Europe, will also impact commodity currencies in the form of demand pressure. NZ final election tallies are released over the weekend so negotiation may commence. Let the games begin! ... read more |  |
