US NFP rose by 227K from an upwardly revised 284K (prior +243K) with the unemployment rate steady at 8.3%. Private payrolls slowed to 233K from an upwardly revised 285K (prior 257K). US dollar rallying on a US-positive growth reaction, boosting US short term yields relative to Eurozone and the UK. As a result, The spread of Eurozone 10 yr yields minus US 10-yields is at -0.23%, the lowest since July 2011.

We warned earlier today: "robust report is likely to trigger an initial rally in risk assets alongside the US currency, before potentially seeing a reversal in risk currencies and assets on eroding chances of an outright QE, at which point the USD would remain the last currency standing".
