Dollar dives briefly as U.S. job growth slows more than expected

The dollar retraced early gains and weakened against the euro on Friday, Nov. 1, after data showed that U.S. job growth slowed sharply in October due to hurricanes and a strike by Boeing workers. Data released on Friday showed that non-farm payrolls rose by 12,000 in October. Economists polled by Reuters had previously expected U.S. employment to rise by 113,000 people. The euro touched a more than two-week high against the U.S. dollar and was last up about 0.12%, while the dollar index DXY fell about 0.14% to near 103.72.
