Currency Safe-Havens Bounce on Chinese Money Market Spike (Reuters)

In response, the dollar, yen and Swiss franc all rose. “The weight of a weak U.S. nonfarm (payrolls) is surpassed by rising risk aversion on concerns over China’s money market. Profit-taking takes hold,” said Camilla Sutton, chief currency strategist at Scotiabank in Toronto.
