The U.S. dollar rose CLP 2.1 against the Chilean peso on Friday, closing at CLP 978.00 after briefly reaching CLP 986 following a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report. October payrolls increased by 165,000, unemployment fell to 4.1%, and wage growth exceeded forecasts; improved U.S. stock-market sentiment later tempered the dollar’s rise against the peso.
The strong employment and wage figures may reduce expectations for U.S. rate cuts, supporting the dollar broadly. The article reports the dollar index higher but does not establish a material feed-commodity price impact.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
