FOREX: -After having a dire week before Friday, CAD spurred back to the top of

the pile as domestic jobs data beat expectations and the firm rally in oil

prices underpinned sentiment. Canada added 94,000 jobs in November, well ahead

of the 10,000 gain expectations, helping press the unemployment rate lower by

0.2ppts to 5.6%. This followed the OPEC+ group reaching an agreement to cut oil

output by 1.2mln bpd, helping WTI and Brent crude futures higher by well over 4%

apiece. USD/CAD showed below C$1.33 on the move, with NOK also rising in

sympathy.

-US jobs data was generally disappointing, with headline payrolls growth missing

forecast and earnings data dipping below expectations. The USD was largely

unperturbed however, with markets far more concerned about recent equity

volatility - main US equity indices slid as much as 1.5% Friday.

-Attention turns to parliamentary Brexit votes in the UK, Chinese trade balance

data, UK jobs figures, German ZEW numbers and rate decisions from the ECB,

Switzerland, Norway and Russia.
