The ADP payrolls estimate of 99k was much weaker than street estimate of 145k though analysts tended to downplay the link between ADP and NFP. Challenger layoffs rose to the highest level in five months.
The dollar trimmed a steeper decline amid bouts of short-covering following a modest improvement in weekly jobless claims and stronger than expected August service PMIs.
