Dollar jumps as strong jobs number spurs hawkish Fed bets
The dollar jumped in line with U.S. Treasury yields on Friday after data showed that U.S. employers added more jobs than expected in November, potentially giving the Federal Reserve more incentive to raise interest rates.
Employers added 263,000 jobs in November, well above estimates of 200,000. Average hourly earnings jumped by 0.6% in the month, above expectations for a 0.3% gain.
The dollar index 
DXY was last up 0.64% on the day against a basket of currencies at 105.31, and the greenback jumped 0.24%against the Japanese yen 
USDJPY to 135.64. The euro 
EURUSD dropped 0.67% on the day to $1.0456.
