Jobs blunder limits greenback ascend.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

US dollar was traded lower on last Friday after data shows that the US economy added far fewer workers than expected for the month of February. As of writing, the dollar index was up 0.08% to 97.26 during Asian trading session. According to US Labor Department, Nonfarm Payrolls for last month came in at only 20,000 jobs, far lesser than the consensus forecast for an increase of 180,000. A plunge in last month\u2019s job gains was largely due to weather-related disruption. However, losses on the greenback remains limited after Unemployment Rate ticked down by 0.1% to 3.9%, indicating further tightening in the US labor market. Likewise, Average Hourly Earnings accelerated by 0.4%, higher than economists\u2019 forecast for an increase of only 0.3%. Overall, greenback was sold off rather mildly as overall trend in employment is resilient enough to keep the unemployment rate low in long-term. In the UK front, pair of GBP\/USD opened lower by 0.24% to 1.2984. Pound sterling was sold off earlier this morning due to risk aversion as UK Parliament members will pass their verdict on PM Theresa May\u2019s Brexit plan on 12th<\/sup> March which may be used to enforce Brexit on 29th<\/sup> March. However, CNBC reported on Sunday that Brexit could be reversed if lawmakers reject May\u2019s exit deal and it may further jeopardize May\u2019s position that adds further weakness on the GBP. If the proposal was rejected, it would open the door for voting of \u201cNo Deal Exit\u201d on 13th<\/sup> March. Likewise, a rejection to exit EU without any deal will lead to a vote to either delay Brexit deadline which is set on 29th<\/sup> March.<\/p>\n

In the commodities front, crude oil price rose 0.34% to $56.16 per barrel. The commodity received higher demand after reports show that Saudi Arabia produced 10.1 million barrels per day (bpd) in February, well below its assigned quota of 10.31 bpd. In addition, Saudi Arabia energy minister Khalid al-Falih said last month that March production level could fall to 9.8 million bpd which may provide further bullishness towards the commodity\u2019s price. On the other hand, gold price depreciates by 0.09% to $1,297.19 a troy ounce following a rebound of US dollar.<\/p>\n
