US ADP job report disappoints investors

FX:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
The private report on the US labor market indicated only 145,000 jobs were added in March, considerably lower than Mitrade's expected figure of 200,000. As a result, the market worries over Friday’s official nonfarm payrolls report.

Meanwhile, EUR/USD declined 52 pips to 1.0901, and GBP/USD fell 44 pips to 1.2457. AUD/USD lost 31 pips to 0.672. USD/CAD added 13 pips to 1.3458, though USD/JPY slid 36 pips to 131.35.

Spot gold suffered minor losses at $2,020.67 an ounce. WTI oil futures closed just lower at $80.61 a barrel, now trading at $79.90. Bitcoin and Ethereum returned previous gains, currently at $28,032.0 and $1,898.28 respectively.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was the only major US index to close higher yesterday, advancing 80 points to 33,482. The Nasdaq 100 plunged 132 points to 12,967, and the S&P 500 slipped 10 points to 4,090.
