USD supported after US jobs and ahead of CPI data


Recommended Posts

Strong US data continues to support a stronger dollar as traders consider the upside surprise for the incoming consumer price data on Thursday.

 Jeremy Naylor | Writer, London | Publication date: Monday 10 October 2022 

Strong US jobs data

Friday's non-farm payrolls (NFPs) showed that 263,000 jobs were created in the United States last month.

The unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, from 3.7% in August, and average hourly earnings rose 0.3% on last month, and 5% on September 2021.

The number of people employed in the US is now higher than it was before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. And according to the latest report of the bureau of statistics, job openings fell to 10.1 million, their lowest level since May 2021, while only six million people are looking for a job.

Meanwhile global equity markets fell after the publication of US jobs data for September.

On Friday the S&P 500 dropped 2.8%, while the Nasdaq shed 3.8%. US stock and bond markets will remain closed today for Colombus Day.

Overnight the APAC region followed suit, and European equity markets opene lower this morning.

Interest rates

All this reflects a tight market that gives enough room to the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue to raise interest rates to bring inflation down.

This Thursday, consumer price index (CPI) is expected to rise by 8.1% in September year-on-year (YoY), after 8.3% in August. Core CPI increase is expected to accelerate to 6.5%, after 6.3% in August, matching the peak recorded in March 2022, a then 40-year high.

Should inflation data rise more than expected, like it did last month, it could give the dollar a leg up and send equity markets lower.

I think CPI data can still push USD to strengthen

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
