Payrolls were close to expectations but not good enough to keep the US dollar rally going. The euro stalled ahead of 1.30 and rebounded to 1.3075.
Cable was nearly identical -- unable to break 1.6000 and then rebounding to 1.6075.
The big winner in US trading was the Canadian dollar after another blockbuster employment report. USD/CAD fell to 0.9850 from 0.9920.
Have a great weekend.
