[Weak Employment Fails to Hinder Dollar Index Stabilization, Market Focus Shifts to Delayed Non-Farm Payroll Report] According to a report by Jinse Finance, the dollar remained steady after hitting a two-week high on Thursday, as investors shrugged off weak U.S. employment data. The U.S. Department of Labor stated on Thursday that U.S. job openings in December fell to their lowest level in more than five years. However, market attention has shifted to the upcoming non-farm payroll data, which was delayed due to the recent partial government shutdown and is now scheduled for release next Wednesday. Additionally, President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair boosted the dollar, as markets bet he would adopt a hawkish policy stance and uphold the central bank's independence. According to LSEG data, markets are not fully pricing in the next rate cut until June. The dollar index remained flat at 97.819. (Jin10)
