GLOBAL MARKETS-U.S. jobs disappoint, Wall St. Set for mixed start May 4th 2012, 12:46 LONDON | Fri May 4, 2012 8:46am EDT LONDON May 4 (Reuters) - Wall Street looked set for a mixed start on Friday and the dollar was steady against a basket of major currencies after worse-than-expected U.S. jobs data briefly rattled investors concerned about recovery in the world's largest economy. U.S. April nonfarm payrolls rose 115,000, below the consensus forecast for a rise of 170,000 and down from March's upwardly revised increase of 154,000. The euro was down around 0.1 percent against the dollar at $1.3134, 10-year U.S. Treasuries were flat, yielding 1.929 percent and European shares were down nearly three-quarters of a percent. "The bottom line is we saw disappointing retail sales yesterday, now we're seeing weak labor market data. Hopefully this is just a weak patch, one that doesn't become a weaker patch," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst John Thomas Financial in New York.
