NFP: USD getting even stronger?
Information is not investment advice
Last time
These were the figures released in the February NFP:
- Av. Hourly Earnings were 0.2% against the 0.3% expected
- Employment Change was 49K against 85K expected
- Unemployment Rate was 6.3% against the forecast of 6.7%
As the market was unimpressed with the data, the USD started losing value
In fact, it started depreciating before the release - the figures provided by the US Labor authorities just enhanced the effect. That's very visible on the chart below: EUR/USD rises in the marked period from 1.1980 to 1.2050 and keeps rising later on after a brief correction.
This time
Here is what observers expect:
- Av. Hourly Earnings to stay steady at 0.2%
- Employment to increase by 182K
- Unemployment Rate to stay steady at 6.3%
Action plan
- Join our top analyst Nour El Deen Al-Hammoury to trade the NFP live
- If the Average Hourly Earnings and Employment are higher and Unemployment Rate lower than expected, the USD is likely to rise
- If the Average Hourly Earnings and Employment are lower and the jobless rate greater than expected, the USD will soften
Weak NFP data drives the USD down; better-than-thought figures makes the USD stronger

How Will BoJ Meeting Affect the Yen
Hold onto your hats, folks! The Japanese yen took a nosedive after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left its ultra-loose policy settings unchanged, including its closely watched yield curve control (YCC) policy. But wait, there's more! The BOJ also removed its forward guidance, which had previously pledged to keep interest rates at current or lower levels. So, what's the scoop? Market expectations had been subdued going into the meeting, but some were still hoping for tweaks to the forward guidance to prepare for an eventual exit from the bank's massive stimulus
