By Admin in Reviews 0 Comment

Today’s release of the April Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report unveiled impressive growth in the US employment sector, exceeding predictions. An increase of 253K non-farm payroll positions surpassed the anticipated 180K, indicating ongoing economic recovery and expansion.

The jobless rate also showed improvement, decreasing to 3.4% in comparison to the projected 3.6% and the prior month’s 3.5%. This decline suggests a more robust labor market as the economy continues to advance.

EUR/USD

Euro-bears almost reached the preceding lows in the pair. EURUSD dropped down to 1.2456 during the day, yet the weekly low of 1.2437 was left untouched.

The single currency tested 1.2500 on Friday. This decline was caused by the perfect US employment statistics. The unemployment rate decreased from 6.1% to 5.9% and the number of jobs grew by 248K instead of the expected 210. Besides, the August statistics were revised up from 142 to 180.

But in the meantime, the average hourly earnings lost 1%, which in a way contradicts the classic situation with the tight employment market. It’s also no good that the participation rate has again fallen. In September it made 62.7 against more…
