The U.S. dollar fell against its most major counterparts in the New York session on Thursday, as private sector employment increased less than expected in August, increasing the chances of a 50 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve this month.
Data from payroll processor ADP showed that private sector employment rose by 99,000 jobs in August after climbing by a downwardly revised 111,000 jobs in July.
Economists had expected private sector employment to jump by 145,000 jobs compared to the addition of 122,000 jobs originally reported for the previous month.
The data is likely to add to recent concerns about the economic outlook but could also boost the chances of accelerated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
Meanwhile, the Labor Department released a separate report showing a modest decrease by first-time claims for U.S. unemployment benefits in the week ended August 31st.
The report said initial jobless claims dipped to 227,000, a decrease of 5,000 from the previous week's revised level of 232,000.
Economists had expected jobless claims to edge down to 230,000 from the 231,000 originally reported for the previous week.
