US NFP Softer Than Expected, USD Whipsaws

US NFP headline at 245k, notably missing expectations of 460k, while the prior reading had been revised lower to 610k from 638k. Elsewhere, the unemployment rate dipped to 6.7%, although, this is likely due to the 0.2ppt drop in the participation rate. The initial market reaction has been choppy with the USD dipping ever so slightly before retracing, while the S&P 500 had whipsawed.
