In this market reaction to the report is visible, due to the weakness of the American and the Fed’s restrained comments on the issue of raising rates and the impact on employment. But it is worth noting that a strong report on employment in the US will not pass by the market and will set the sentiments for the entire previous week. Therefore, from the US dollar index, at least, the return to an upward trend in the coming trading days is expected.
