# Dollar holds near 1-1/2-year euro high after payrolls jump

> The US dollar held near a 1½-year high against the euro after rising 0.7% on Friday following October employment data showing faster hiring and a lower unemployment rate. The dollar index was steady at 102.20, and futures implied a 79% chance of a Federal Reserve rate increase in December.

## Why it matters

Stronger employment data and increased expectations for a Fed rate hike supported the dollar, which can raise the cost of dollar-priced feed commodities for importers. The currency move may therefore be a modest bearish influence on commodity demand and prices.
