Palladium prices rose nearly one percent in American trade as the dollar index backed off August 20 highs, following earlier labor data from the US today. 

 

As of 01:40 GMT, palladium rose 0.69% to $1,064.28 an ounce, while the dollar index shed 0.16% to 95.60 away from six-week highs. 

 

Earlier US data showed the unemployment rate fell to 3.7% near 49 year lows from 3.9%, while averages wages rose 0.3% as expected. 

 

The economy created 134 thousand new jobs last month, down from 270 thousand in August, and below estimates of 185K, as the trade deficit widened to $53.2 billion from $50.0 billion, barely below estimates of $53.4 billion.
