US Dollar boosted by US data
The index has managed to surpass the 97.00 handle after US Non-farm Payrolls showed the economy has created 151K jobs during January, missing estimates at 190K and down from December’s revised 262K.
On the brighter side, Average Hourly Earnings advanced at a monthly pace of 0.5%, bettering expectations.
