Mixed US Jobs Report Erodes Dollar Gains, CAD Soars

Summary: Happy 2022 all, may the year ahead be better for all in every aspect of our lives. Great to be back in FX, which promises much for the year ahead. Happy days indeed. Over the weekend, the Euro outperformed, rebounding to 1.1360 in New York on Friday, from 1.1297. The catalyst was a mixed US Non-Farms Payrolls report combined with a surprise rise in Eurozone inflation figures. In December, the US economy created a less-than-expected 199,000 jobs, well under the median forecast by economists at 420,000. November’s Payroll report was revised higher.
