# Dollar heads for fourth straight weekly gain versus euro

> The dollar was on track for a fourth straight weekly gain against the euro after US September jobs growth fell short of expectations and unemployment rose to 4.2%. The 10-year Treasury yield slipped to about 5.19%, while yields remain near multi-decade highs. Rising crude prices also supported the dollar.
