U.S. Dollar jumps ahead of jobs report
The U.S. Dollar appreciated ahead of a report that analysts say will provide signs of growth in the U.S. job market, fueling the case for the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to taper bond-buying programme. The greenback rose 0.5% to 100.05 against the Yen and jumped 0.1% to $1.3106 versus the 17-nation currency.
