German payrolls fall by 17k -DAX remains resilient near record levels

That German September unemployment report has just been released and it has shown a slightly larger than expected fall in payrolls- 17k versus forecast -12k. The underlying rate has remained at 6% though, but this news did slightly knock the EUR/USD a little lower, but not my much and it has not materially impacted the DAX. Earlier this morning, as noted the DAX commenced live trade with a new record opening level at 19,257 and then reached a new all time high at 19,286. Following the release of this data, the index has not moved much and if anything it is slightly higher than beforehand. The DAX is just now trading at 19,270
