SD NFP and Unemployment Comes out at 8:30 AM ET
Forecast is 7.3 on unemployment and 126k on NFP
Lower NFP ie 56k or < & higher unemployment rate 7.4>- sell USD
Strong NFP ie > 196k and flat 7.3% or lower Unemployment - buy USD
This is a huge impact even on the Quantiative Easing/Fed Bond Buying
Stronger Market = less printing = stronger dollar Weak Market = more printing = weaker dollar
If numbers are mixed or as expected may want to exit at breakeven… also look at previous revisions as this can have a large impact.
