Get Ready For U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls Today

We will closely watch US Non-Farm Payrolls today! The US Jobs Report will be released at 13:30 p.m. (GMT).

Why Is This Important?

The Non-Farm Payrolls track the change in the number of people employed by the US in manufacturing, construction, and goods companies. It does not include farming industry employment. The US Jobs Report is so important for the upcoming Fed decisions.

Risk appetite firmed across global financial markets. We are focusing the outcome of the US presidential election. While a winner is yet to be officially declared as votes continue to be counted, data from betting markets hints that the likelihood of a victory for former Vice President Biden has solidified in the minds of investors.

Yesterday, FOMC leaves the policy interest rate and pace of asset purchases unchanged. This was widely expected with the US central bank likely opting to stay sidelined this meeting in light of the November 2020 election. Fed Chair Powell said we are strongly committed to using our tools and more can be done if needed

This week's data also showed US private-sector job creation ease to 365K above the expectation of 650K. 

US Nonfarm Payrolls are expected to ease 600K in October from 661K. The Unemployment Rate is expected to drop to 7.6% from 7.9%. Average hourly earnings will also be significant and are expected to come out 4.6%, year on year basis.
