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)

    • Security and Transparency have always been the bedrock of cryptocurrency and focusing on these principles is particularly endearing to the crypto community. I found this to be more true when I came across BRC-20 DEX Exchange. In short, BRC-20 DEX Exchange is a DEX built on the BRC-20 protocol, offering secure and transparent trading for BRC-20 tokens. Basically, the BRC-20 DEX Bridge allows users to easily transfer BRC-20 tokens to Ethereum (ETH), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Polygon (Matic) networks for wider trading options. Additionally, the bridge enables transferring assets back to the BRC-20 blockchain. The BRC-20 DEX offers various utilities, including efficient bridging of BRC-20 tokens, spot trading of cryptocurrencies, and margin trading for borrowing, trading, and leveraging BRC-20 tokens. While they have gained popularity, the listing of their token BD20 on Bitget will be another milestone in their journey. Do you think BRC-20 DEX transparency and security will offset the limited number of operating chains?
    • Silver Elliott Wave Analysis  Function -Trend Mode - Trend Structure - Impulse for (A) Position - Wave 3 of (A) Direction - Wave 4 of (A)  Details - Currently in wave 4 dip before further rallies for wave 5 of (A) higher. We should see one more leg lower for wave 4. Not much has changed since the last update. Silver has undergone an extension of its pullback phase since April 12th, 2024, and is now poised within the critical Fibonacci reversal territory. The prevailing trend unmistakably favors the bulls, and it's only a matter of time before its upward trajectory resumes. Amidst this phase, buyers are gearing up to reclaim dominance within the current reversal zone, a juncture demanding keen attention from retail traders. Within this discourse on commodities, our focus delves into both the long-term and near-term Elliott wave prognostications for Silver, emphasizing the pivotal reversal zones meriting trader scrutiny. Zooming into the daily chart, we observe a significant breakout from a protracted triangular formation, constituting part of a double zigzag structure stemming from the September 2022 low, where Silver traded at $17.56. Presently, the price action aligns within the intermediate wave (A) of the primary wave Y (circumscribed in blue). Wave (A) is unfolding into an impulsive sequence since late January 2024. Within the confines of wave (A), the ongoing descent constitutes wave 4. As wave 4 approaches its culmination, an anticipatory surge in wave 5 beckons, potentially propelling prices towards the 30 major level, or possibly even surpassing it. The pivotal query revolves around the termination point of wave 4.   Shifting focus to the H4 chart, we discern wave 4 materializing into a zigzag pattern, suggesting potential support within the 100-138% Fibonacci extension levels, corresponding to the range of 26.86 - 26.07. Should the projection extend to 161.8% (25.6), the integrity of the zigzag structure may be compromised, potentially catalyzing a transition toward an impulsive decline. Consequently, an anticipatory rebound within this zone is anticipated. Presently situated within this crucial territory, the price trajectory might explore deeper depths, yet a decisive and vigorous recovery out of this zone remains imperative to facilitate the advancement into wave 5.
