The U.S. dollar slightly advanced against the yen ahead of speeches from Federal Reserve's officials. Market participants expect to hear more clues on the probability of a rate hike in December. Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen, Vice Chair Stanley Fischer and New York Fed President William Dudley are due to speck today. According to Bloomberg there is almost a 70% chance of a rate hike next month.

The Australian dollar rose against the greenback amid a better-than-expected jobs report. The Australian Bureau of Statistics said the number of employed rose by 58,600 in October and the unemployment rate fell to 5.9%. Most economists had expected the unemployment rate to remain at 6.2%. This year the Australian economy created 197,000 jobs, marking the biggest increase in four and a half years. This means the Reserve Bank of Australia was right when it decided not to cut its benchmark interest rate at the last meeting and monitor upcoming economic data.
