U.S. Nonfarm Payroll News
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics is scheduled to release numbers for the Nonfarm payroll news on April 02, 2021. According to economist estimates, the Nonfarm payroll data might register a reading of 639K in March, as compared to the reading of 379K, in the month before.
The Nonfarm payroll data reflects the number of non-agricultural job vacancies created in the United States the last month. The payroll data changes every month and carries high volatility exposure due to direct relation with the Central Banks’ economic policy decisions. It is worth mentioning here that the payroll data is subject to multiple subsequent reviews that may create additional volatility in the forex market. Generally speaking, a high reading indicates a strengthening U.S. economy and suggests a bearish trend for the EURUSD pair and vice versa.
Conclusion
Keeping in view the price behaviour of the EURUSD pair over the past few days, selling the pair around 1.1909 might yield some short to medium-term profits.
