That's a nail in the coffin of the idea of an October rate cut. Employment growth has slowed a tad and there's no wage pressure. None. Nada.1:34 PM - 02 Oct 2015

U.S rate outlook in focus as jobs data loomGains for European and Asia stocks capped a wild week for financial markets on Friday, before a key U.S. jobs report that may improve the chances of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates before year-end.
Concern about U.S. monetary policy and slowdown in emerging markets led by China has hit commodities markets and related stocks like Glencore and widened credit spreads this week following a summertime surge in volatility.
Russia's air strikes in Syria, its biggest Middle East intervention in decades, has so far failed to spook global markets beyond a rise in oil prices, however. Global equities are set to end the week flat.

Dollar up as all eyes turn to U.S. jobs report* Dollar higher before closely watched U.S. jobs report
* Euro headed for worst run of weekly losses in eight months
* Investors grow more tolerant of risk]
LONDON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - The dollar edged higher on Friday, as investors eyed a U.S. employment report that may bolster expectations the Federal Reserve will raise U.S. interest rates this year for the first time in almost a decade.
The dollar fell sharply two weeks ago after the Fed once again kept rates at their historic lows. But it has since gained around 2.5 percent against a basket of major currencies, as Fed Chair Janet Yellen and other U.S. policymakers have kept alive the prospect of an increase later this year.
On Friday, the dollar index was up 0.2 percent on the day, in a subdued market before the U.S. non-farm payrolls numbers due at 1230 GMT. Economists expect employers added 203,000 jobs in September, according to a Reuters poll.

Gold falls to 2-week low ahead of U.S. jobs data* Gold prices extend losses into sixth day
* Heading for biggest weekly drop in 7 months
* Coming up: U.S. nonfarm payrolls at 1230 GMT
* Platinum falls to lowest since December 2008
LONDON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Gold fell to two-week lows on Friday, heading for its biggest weekly loss since early March ahead of U.S. payrolls data which will be scrutinised for clues on the timing of an expected interest rate rise.
The Federal Reserve has tied the prospect of a rate hike to the strength of U.S. data. An increase would tend to weigh on gold, which benefits from ultra-low rates that cut the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
