  • U.S. Jobs Top Forecast With 263,000 Gain; Wages Miss Estimates

    From bloomberg.com

    U.S. hiring topped forecasts in April as the jobless rate dipped to a fresh 49-year low and wage gains were slightly cooler than projected, suggesting the still-healthy labor market can continue to support growth without fueling inflation. Payrolls climbed by 263,000 after a downwardly revised 189,000 advance the prior month, according to a Labor Department report Friday that exceeded all estimates in a Bloomberg’s survey.

The good NFP report was anticipated. Traders have priced it in. Hence, minimal volatility upon its actual release.

The market is like this because of they revised the previous month data so even if this month data is strong, the revised of previous month data is causing insecurities in investors

The slightly lower dollar after the excellent US payroll report does not mean that the report will not be a benefit to the greenback but only that in the immediate reaction the good news was already priced into the currency markets.

Average hourly earning is less. Revision in NFP is less than previous actual release. USD was overbought, so yes market was looking for an excuse to sell USD as M0hmz also wrote.

I think , NFP Up means Full off Employments, but
Average Hourly Earning Less, means pay less then it should be, means income less
Inflation lower then expected....
Means Growth but inflation in trouble... ; )

For news like this, I will compare the 'Previous' 'Forecast' and 'Actual' Data between FF, FXStreet and DailyFX. I dont know why, but these 3 sites tend to have different value. And for tonight NFP, there is more 'bad' than 'good' data

the interest rate will be up, because it is hard to find worker , to get proper worker and skillful, the employer need to raise up the wages ,and inflation will be up, unless all the employment figures and employment rate is fake or lying.

Not really sure what other people are seeing but my chart shows a breakout above USDX 97.50 resistance last week that reached a high of 98.35. This week a smallish retrace where USDX currently sits at 97.50 the very same resistance that held since November 2018.
This in spite of the constant drum roll out of White House pushing for a weaker USD
Odds do favor this to be a retest of old now broken resistance which appears to be holding as support.
Stronger support yet would be 97.00 level.
Fundamental numbers still show strength. To be calling for a weaker dollar going further into 2019 would be premature in my estimate.

The $ came under pressure today because of the extraordinary rise in April. The same happened during April of last year. So $ is going to take a breather for the most part of next week.

USD is at 97-98 now...what do you mean with bullish? On the upside its pretty much done...but on the downside...it can easily go towards 90, 85 or even 75 long term. Thats a hell of a way to go. But how much upwards? 100? I rather trade in the longer term direction.
