Employment remains robust for the US economy. The non-farm payroll report for December beat expectations with a 312,000 reading, way above the 184,000 forecast and the prior reading which was revised higher to 176,000. Wages are stellar, also rising to 0.4% from 0.2% and above the eyed 0.2%. The unemployment rate rose from 3.7% to 3.9% as the participation rate jumped to 63.1%.
Stocks traded slightly lower following the data release and the dollar rallied against its major trading partners.
