• There were 10.562M job openings in November, less than the 11.075M expected.
• The weaker number seemed to weigh on the dollar a tad at the time.  

The number of job openings on the last business day of November fell to 10.562 million, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics announced in its latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary (JOLTS) on Tuesday. This reading came in below market expectations for 11.075 million and was lower versus October's 11.091 million reading, which had been revised up from 11.033 million.

Market Reaction

The DXY saw some negative ticks in the wake of the headline misses in the ISM manufacturing and JOLTs reports.
