NEW YORK, Nov 6 (Reuters) - The dollar and yen rose on
Friday after a disappointing U.S. jobs report boosted
safe-haven demand for the two currencies.
U.S. employers cut a deeper-than-expected 190,000 jobs in
October, government data showed, driving the unemployment rate
up to its highest in 26-1/2 years at 10.2 percent. For details,

"The real shocker is the unemployment rate," said Joseph
Trevisani, senior market analyst at FX Solutions in Saddle
River, New Jersey. "Should be good for the dollar on risk
aversion trade.
"The Fed will stay on hold even longer with less likelihood
of giving a concrete answer to when and how to withdraw
quantitative easing," he added.
The dollar fell to 90.07 yen after the jobs report,
according to Reuters data, and last traded 0.6 percent lower
at 90.18 yen .
The euro was down 0.3 percent on the day at $1.4835 ,
and was also down 0.9 percent against the yen at 133.79 yen
.
"It's pretty disappointing overall and that's why we're
seeing the euro and dollar/yen fall," said Richard Franulovich,
senior currency strategist at Westpac in New York.
