Watch Out For The US Non-Farm Payrolls!

Watch Out For The US Non-Farm Payrolls!

We will focus on the U.S. employment report for March today! The US Non-Farm Payrolls will be released at 12:30 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 the farming industry employment. The US Jobs Report is an important determinant of a Fed rate hike in the upcoming decisions.

Last Wednesday, the ADP report showed the US private sector added 129K jobs during March, missing expectations and down from February’s 197K jobs.

The forecast is that the economy added 175K jobs in March after rising 20K the previous month. Average hourly earnings are expected to rise 0.2% for the month, bringing the year-over-year gain in earnings to 3.4%. Policymakers are watching the annualized reading closely to gauge upward pressure on inflation. Released at the same time, traders will pay close attention to the unemployment rate which is expected to stay at 3.8%.

Strong employment report will point to an improving US Economy and support the US Dollar.

Technical Analysis:

EUR/USD: Ahead of the US Jobs Report, the 1.1219 daily support level is critical for the EURUSD pair.
