• U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls Declines Less Than Economists Expectations, Unemployment Rate Rises to 9.6%
  

  Nonfarm payrolls in the world’s largest economy tumbled 54,000 in August after falling a revised 54,000 the previous month amid economists’ expectations of -105,000. At the same time, the unemployment rate rose to 9.6 percent from 9.5 percent in July. In turn, the Japanese yen, and the U.S. dollar lost ground against all major currencies as sentiment shifted gears. Meanwhile, U.S. futures pushed higher subsequent to the report, and indeed, risk appetite maybe the main theme going into the North American trade. Market participants should caution entering a trade today as many traders are offline going into the holiday weekend.
