Friday is the situation observed in a row for its part to profit taking brokers who clearly anticipated the good performance of the employment figures in the United States.
The official unemployment rate fell 0.2 points from November, reaching 8.5%, a value higher than analysts' expectations, which had forecast 8.6%.
But such figures confirm the decline in unemployment, the rate has declined for four straight month, falling 0.9 percentage points over the entire year.
Meanwhile the U.S. economy created 200,000 jobs in November, more than it destroyed in December.
