U.S. economy added an unexpected robust 263,000 jobs in November. Bitcoin was recently hovering near $17,000, recovering from an earlier slide on the news, whereas equities were mixed following the strong job report. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed down 0.12% and 0.18%, respectively, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.1%.
