Non-farm payrolls show how many Americans were employed last month (in this case October). The more jobs were added, the better for the US economy and thus for the USD! | Last time, the NFP report revealed that 194,000 Americans got a job in September. It marked the lowest level so far this year, which was well below the market expectations of 500,000. Notably, Non-farm employment has surged by 17.4 million since the coronavirus outbreak in April 2020 but still, it lacks 5 million jobs to return to the pre-pandemic level. | Non-farm payrolls are released with two other important reports: unemployment rate, and average hourly earnings. If the NFP and average hourly earnings are higher than expected and the unemployment rate — lower, the US dollar will strengthen. Otherwise — weaken. Overall, this event offers a great opportunity to trade currency pairs, stocks, indices, and gold! Mark it in your calendar! | Get ready for NFP release on November 5, 14:30 MT time | |
