Finally one of the most important and exciting news where most new traders screw up on
US Nonfarm Payrolls, Average Hourly Earnings, and Unemployment Rate on Friday, 1 September
The Nonfarm Payroll (NFP) data shows the overall changes in the employment for the previous month, this excludes the farming industry, while average hourly earnings represent the change in the price that businesses pay for the labours, however this will exclude the farming industry. The unemployment rate shows how many people are unemployed in regard to the total labour force.
The Federal Open Market Committee and traders usually pay a lot of attention to the core data. The actual report coming better than the forecast is great for the currency. This is possibly the most traded news release and where most screw ups happen. For traders that have no experience in trading this, just stay away, because it can move really fast, however it can move against you really fast! The key test for the Fed is to ensure that inflation is improving and full employment is maintained. The previous NFP figure is 209k, and the current forecast, 184k (). The previous average hourly earnings rate is 0.3%, and the current forecast, 0.2 (). The previous unemployment rate is 4.3%, with the forecast also being 4.3% (*).
