The lowest NFP figure since June (88K vs exp 150K) did not stop USDJPY from gaining another 90 pips as the unemployment rate dropped to 7.6%--lowest since December 2008. But the shockingly bad news from Canada; -54.5K -- biggest fall since Feb 2009; and the unemployment rate to 7.2% from 7.0% have damaged CAD to the benefit of gold. The implications for the next BoC meeting are significant. We issued 2 new trades on USDCAD, GBPJPY and gold (6 in total). See all these trades in the latest Premium Insights.
