Private sector employment increased by 214,000 jobs from January to February according to the February ADP National Employment Report. Analysts were prediciting increase by 185,000. "Large businesses showed surprisingly strong job gains in February, despite the continuation of economic trends that negatively impact big companies like turmoil in international markets and a strengthening dollar,” said Ahu Yildirmaz, VP and head of the ADP Research Institute. “The gains were mostly driven by the service sector which accounted for almost all the jobs added by large businesses.”

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, said, “Despite the turmoil in the global financial markets, the American job machine remains in high gear. Energy and manufacturing remain blemishes on the job market, but other sectors continue to add strongly to payrolls. Full-employment is fast approaching.”

Euro is currently being traded few points above 1.0850 level, Sterling is around 1.4040 handle, while Aussie is around 0.7230 area.
