This is over 50% more that the 3 million that analysts had forecast. US unemployment also declined by more than forecast, printing at 11.1% in June, down from 13.3% in May and an improvement on the 12.3% that analysts had pencilled in.<\/p>\n<p>The impressive data comes after a week of broadly upbeat data releases across the globe, boosting optimism that the economic downturn from the coronavirus pandemic isn\u2019t as harsh as initially feared and that the economic recovery is progressing better than expected.<\/p>\n<p>As the mood in the market lifted demand for the perceived riskier Australian Dollar increased, whilst the safe haven US dollar slipped lower.<\/p>\n<p>News surrounding encouraging trial results for a vaccine candidate from Pfizer and BioNTech also boosted risk sentiment in early trade.<\/p>\n<p>Today, investors are looking past the accelerating number of coronavirus cases, particularly in the US. The number of new daily cases is reaching record levels, suggesting that the spread of the virus is out moving out of control.<\/p>\n<p>Areas of the US are rolling back reopening measures in a bid to stem the spread of the virus. Should more areas start to do this, the rapid rebound in the labour market and the economy will be under threat.
