Understanding The U.S Non-Farm Payrolls - EuropeFX

Non-Farm Payrolls:

What is it?

Non-Farm Payrolls is a measure of the number of paid part-time or full-time workers in the US, excluding the farming sector.

Why is it important?

The report is comprehensive, covering over 250 regions across the US and almost every important industry. The data is also very up-to-date: the information contained in the report is only a few days old. Non-Farm Payrolls is one of the most closely watched US indicators and is considered the one of the best gauges of US job creation. Labour is massively important to the US economy, and accordingly the Fed may be influenced by the figures in this report; if the number of jobs being created is high, it can point to inflationary pressures (which the Fed may need to counter with a rate increase), whereas declines in the number may indicate a slowing or contracting economy, which increases the chances of a rate cut. If the figure diverges from expectations, it can lead to large amounts of volatility in dollar exchange rates, as well as in the price of bonds and the level of stock indices.

US Unemployment Rate:

What is it?

This is a report on the percentage of people registered as unemployed in the US, calculated by dividing the number of employed by the total work force. Unemployed individuals are defined as being those able and willing to work who have actively sought employment within the last four weeks. The total work force is calculated as the sum of all those employed and unemployed who are 16 years and over.

Why is it important?

The unemployment rate gives a good picture of the labour environment in the US, and therefore provides insight into production, consumption and earnings. A lower figure suggests increased expenditure from an overall greater amount of wages, which may lead to economic growth as well as inflationary pressures. High unemployment rates, on the other hand, imply economic weakness, lower consumer spending power, etc. Released by: Bureau of Labor and Statistics (Monthly)

    • The BLUM project has recently gained attention in the cryptocurrency community due to several developments such as  Introduction of a mining game on the TON ecosystem, allowing users to earn $BLUM tokens.  Announcement of new strategic partnerships Upcoming features including Tribes and Memepad functionalities.  Active community engagement through events and rewards 5. Recognition from notable figures in the crypto space Key upcoming events: Token Generation Event (TGE) for the BLUM mining game scheduled for September 20, 2024 Coinciding airdrop of BLUM tokens to the community The project plans to provide liquidity on centralized exchanges such as Bitget and Binance, as well as decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, Curve, and PancakeSwap. These developments have contributed to increased discussions about BLUM on social media platforms, particularly Twitter. As the crypto landscape evolves rapidly, interested individuals are encouraged to stay informed about BLUM's progress through official channels and related TON communities like r/TONDiscussion.  As with any cryptocurrency project, potential participants should conduct thorough research and consider their own risk tolerance before engaging.
    • Counter Fire is poised to redefine the gaming industry with its innovative blend of competitive gameplay and blockchain technology. The game offers multiple modes, including team-based matches of quads, duos, and solos along with solo missions, with deep customization options and dynamic battle scenarios. While the core gameplay of Counter Fire is similar to PUBG, a battle-royal where the last-man or last-team standing wins in a survival gameplay, users earn while playing Counter Fires. The project has been buzzing the ecosystem as the airdrop claim went live today so users can claim their $CEC and await listing on 9th Sept. While gamers continue to claim their tokens, some analysts have start speculating that the project will redefine the gaming landscape citing the project partnership with likes of YoubiCapital, HASHKEY, KERNEL ventures and many more and the fact that the project raised over $5 million as the base for their argument. The project partnership with Bitget could also be a reason it continues to gain such exposure as players can only claim their token to the exchange. Though, as players claim their token to the exchange, they could benefit some reward from the 1 million $CEC reward pool. I still think many exchanges should list the token so gamers can have many choices.
    • Hi @feirb1, Thank you for your post. Please note that we offer T-Bills for trading on leveraged accounts. By trading these, you will be speculating on the price movements. This means that, when trading, you´ll never take ownership of an actual t-bill. Instead, you´ll take a position on the market either rising in value or falling. Thanks, KoketsoIG
