The US dollar index pared most of its gains after the dismal US jobs data. It hit a low of 104.52 and is currently trading around 105.18.
Non-farm payrolls in the US dropped to 175000 in Apr from the previous month's 315000, below the forecast of 243000. The unemployment rate surged higher to 3.9% from 3.8%, while average hourly earnings declined 3.9% YoY from 4.1%.
The central bank has kept rates unchanged within their current range of 5.25%-5.50%. It has added that it does not expect it would be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving towards 2%.
According to the CME Fed watch tool, the probability of a no-rate cut in June increased to 91.6% from 88.90% a week ago.
