Currencies, Stocks Post Late Surge on U.S. Job Report: EM Review

Bookmark

Emerging-market currencies and stocks reversed early losses to end the week higher as they drew support from a weaker dollar and lower U.S. Treasury yields. Both asset classes posted their biggest gains on Friday as a weak U.S. jobs report revived risk appetite under the premise that Federal Reserve officials will keep easy monetary policy for longer.
