US markets and dollar in green after NFP
US shares are following their European peers on Friday, posting gains after the US economy surprised investors creating 236K jobs during February and the unemployment rate ticked lower to 7.7%. The US markets are thus closing the third consecutive week of gains, with all-time record highs included.
As of writing, the DowJones is up 0.29%, followed by the S&P500 and the Nasdaq, advancing 0.27% and 0.23%, respectively.
Bourses in Euroland closed with gains on Friday, boosted by the strong results from the US Non-farm Payrolls, and extending the rally to three weeks in a row closing with profits. The IBEX35 outperformed its peers, advancing 2.85% followed by the CAC40, 1.22% and the FTSE100, 0.69%. Forgettable day for the single currency, dipping to fresh 2013 lows in the vicinity of 1.2950 after the jobs data in the US economy.
Commodities are trading in a mix tone, with the ounce troy of gold gaining 0.04% at $1575 and the barrel of WTI giving ground at $91.43, or 0.12%.
