The dollar jumped on Friday after data showed that U.S. employers added 162,000 jobs in August, well above the 56,000 additions expected by economists, boosting bets on a September Federal Reserve interest rate hike.
The dollar gave up some of its early gains, however, as U.S. markets head into a three-day holiday weekend and as traders waited on next week's inflation data. Labor Day on Monday is a U.S. public holiday.
