The dollar traded slightly lower against its major currencies on as investors became cautious after the weak US jobs data. US non-farm payrolls declined 33,000 last month, compared 156000 in August but market expectation pointed to addition of 90000 jobs, according to data released on Friday by the Labour Department, reflecting Hurricane Harvey's impact on Texas and Irma's fallout in Florida.At the same time, the unemployment rate fell to 4.2%, the lowest level in 16 years. Federal Reserve New York President William Dudley said that the Federal Reserve should keep gradually raising interest rates amid a tightening US labour market that would bring inflation back to its 2% target. 

Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan and Atlanta Fed chief Raphael Bostic both suggested they were open to raising rates in December, but were still undecided.
