All Eyes Will Be On U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls Today 

Pay attention to 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.

The US Dollar rose sharply after Powell’s comments at the Wall Street Journal jobs summit yesterday. Powell said the sell-off in Treasuries during the past week was notable and caught my attention but was not disorderly or likely to push long-term rates so high as to warrant a more forceful Fed intervention. 

Powell said the central bank’s commitment to maintaining its ultra-easy monetary policy until the economy is very far along the road to recovery.

This week's data showed US private-sector job creation rose to 117K below the expectation of 177K. 

US Nonfarm Payrolls are expected to rise 165K in February from 49K. The Unemployment Rate is expected to stay at 6.3%. Average hourly earnings are expected to come out 5.3%, year on a year basis.
