Why is the calendar report shown in red as an increase of 223,000 jobs is great. Just because someone said before the report they expected more does not make it bad?
good % good
The USD was under pressure there for a minute, but its hard to imagine people saying this NFP # is going to drive them to EUR or GBP. I believe this will result in USD strength because USD is still closer to interest rate hikes than anyone else.

It's red because it missed estimates. If it surpassed it would be green. If it met it would be black.

The real question is why if it missed estimates with a % of 5.4, did the % move to 5.3?

Nah. It's a race to the bottom all around. It's not as simple a matter as one economic report.

More parasites living off the system not participating in the job market. They breed like mosquitoes sucking the tax blood from the working class.
