(CercleFinance.com) - The evolution of the Dollar is quite paradoxical this Thursday since it weakened by -0.3% both against the Euro (1.1810), against the Yen (105.15), against the Swiss Franc (0.915) but strengthened clearly against the Pound (+0.8% to 1.3120) and against the Canadian Dollar (+0.6% to 1.314).

US T-Bonds thus relaxed by -8.6Pts towards 90.1%, (levels close to those preceding pfizer's announcement) which explains the decline against the Euro or the Yen... but its rise against the Pound seems motivated by the lack of evolution in the Brexit file at 72H of the 'deadline' of 15/11 (the £ falls by -1% against the Euro).

This day was also fertile in figures: in Europe, industrial production in the euro zone fell sharply (by nearly -6%) in September).

In the United States, the good unemployment figures did not impact the T-Bonds: weekly jobless registrations down from -48,000 last week in the United States to 709,000, much more clearly than expected (745,000), according to figures published Thursday by the Department of Labor.

The number of people receiving regular benefits was 6.78 million last week, compared to 7.22 million the previous week.

Finally, inflation remains very wise in the US: the 'core' rate stands at +1.6% (over 12 months) against +1.7% in September, the 'gross' rate is unchanged at +1.4%.
