Risky Currencies, Assets Hurt By Jobs Data

Yesterday was dominated by US jobs data with the morning's trading taking on a stagnant air as traders waited for the release. The afternoon was bearish as it became clear that 467,000 jobs were lost in the month of June in the US, a loss similar to the entire population of Liverpool. Risk appetite pulled back and aversion dominated with equity markets falling lower.
The ECB held rates at 1% as we expected and the 'post-match' press conference was a damp squib. The euro fell off against both sterling and the US dollar as European unemployment data disappointed. Joblessness is now sitting at 9.5%; a ten year high and is likely to continue rising.
Construction PMI, unlike Manufacturing PMI yesterday, moved lower posting a figure of 44.5 against a consensus of 45.9. This moved sterling lower as a lot of analysts, myself included, believe that a return of housing market strength is needed for a sterling recovery.
