Asian markets are up at the start of the
week as a big disappointment in U.S.
jobs data last week pushed back rate
hike expectations and consequently lifted
risk sentiment.
U.S. non-farm payrolls increased by just
38k in May, the lowest job additions in
more than 5 years even as wages grew
at a good pace.
In currencies, the dollar index is trading
near three week lows which lifted the
euro and commodities. The INR and
other EM currencies are also likely to find
strength this week.

Precious Metals
Gold and silver are higher in early trade
as the dollar slumped post a big miss on
the jobs data on Friday.
The US economy added just 38k jobs in
May, against expectations of 160k, the
fewest since September 2010. The
readings for March and April were also
revised lower by a combined 59k.
However, the unemployment rate fell to
4.7% in May and wages grew 2.5% over
the prior year.
US rate hike odds in June have almost
dropped to zero while odds in July halved
to 30% from nearly 60% before the jobs
data. This is likely to keep precious
metals higher in the short term.
The US economy added just 38k jobs in
May, against expectations of 160k, the
fewest since September 2010.
