what happened
According to TradingView, the dollar index DXY rose to 102.30 on Friday. The driver was October US payrolls, which added 165,000 jobs against a forecast of 65,000, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.10% from 4.20%.
The euro slipped to 1.114 per dollar and the pound to 1.335. The yen weakened to 158.527 per dollar and the Canadian dollar to 1.413, after Canada's unemployment rate rose to 6.70%. Investors price a 77.10% chance of a 25-basis-point Fed rate hike at the December 8-9 meeting.
Tensions with Iran continue, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and Iran reportedly sent a nuclear proposal to the US through Qatar.
why it matters
Strong hiring and expectations of tighter Fed policy support the dollar. Geopolitical uncertainty around Iran adds inflation risks that reinforce those rate-hike bets.
