Highly anticipated NFP report was released at 1:30 pm BST and showed the US economy unexpectedly added 528 k jobs in July, compared to a 372k increase in June and well above market expectations of 250k.
The jobless rate declined to 3.5% from 3.6% last month and above market estimates of 3.6%.
Closely watched wage growth remained unchanged at 5.20% and above market expectations of a 4.9% YoY.
