Instability remains 1 on global stock markets despite better-than-expected jobs figures in the United States. The US economy generated 117,000 jobs last month, cutting the unemployment rate to 9.1 percent. The data caused US and European markets to rally but only briefly 2. US markets ended the day mixed. And European markets recorded their biggest weekly fall in almost three years. Analysts 3 say it would have been worse had there not been for the strong US jobs figures.
Checking the latest markets, in the US, the Dow Jones finished up by 0.5 per cent. The key indexes on the London and Frankfurt exchanges both closed about 2.7 per cent lower.Foreign market losses dragged down local stocks on Friday. More than $50 billion was wiped from the share market, and traders are warning of further losses to come. Mining stocks led the declines. BHP Billiton slumped 4 almost 5 per cent. Elsewhere in the region, Asian stocks have seen heavy losses. Japan's Nikkei has lost around 3.5 per cent. And the Aussie dollar is buying around 104.6 US cents.
The Reserve Bank has highlighted the global economic uncertainty 5 as one of its biggest worries. The RBA's quarterly statement on monetary 6 policy warns that the debt problems in Europe and the US are a threat to domestic growth. Its other major concern is rising inflation and is expected to edge outside its target band this year.
