# Dollar gains after stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report | Reuters

> The dollar rose against the yen and gained versus the euro after US data showed nonfarm payrolls rose by 266,000 in November, well above the 180,000 forecast. Manufacturing regained all 43,000 jobs lost in October, supporting the Federal Reserve's pause in rate cuts.

## Why it matters

A strong jobs report firms the dollar and reduces the likelihood of rate cuts, which tends to pressure dollar-priced commodities modestly and reflects a stronger US economy.
