Indicators point to a weak NFP

Expert market comment from senior analyst Alex Kuptsikevich of the FxPro Analyst Team: Indicators point to a weak NFP

FxPro | 1175 ngày trước

One of the most timely and unpredictable economic reports, the US Nonfarm Payrolls report for March, will be released on Friday. Market participants will look to other publications to shed light on the situation.

The average forecast among market participants is for the economy to have created 230K jobs in March, down from 311K the previous month. However, these forecasts were made about a week ago, and the data that has come in since then suggests that the actual number will be much weaker.

The change in ADP private sector employment, the closest indicator to the headline NFP figure, missed expectations, showing a gain of 145K after 261K the previous month versus expectations of 208K and an official reading of 443K.

Weekly jobless claims fell from 246K to 228K last week but remained in an uptrend since late January from a low of 194K. Initial claims have been on an uptrend since September and have increased by 42K in the last four weeks.

At the same time, according to estimates by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, there continues to be an impressive year-on-year increase in planned redundancies. Companies reported plans to cut 89.7K jobs, 3.2 times higher than a year ago and 15% higher than last month. Again, it's hard to see signs of sustained strength in the labour market.

GBP/USD Approaches Critical Support as Dollar Strength Weighs on Sterling

GBP/USD is testing a pivotal weekly support level against a backdrop of diverging monetary policy dynamics. Persistent U.S. inflation continues to support the dollar, while moderating UK inflation reduces the likelihood of further BoE tightening. A break below 1.3159 would confirm a broader bearish structure, while a move above 1.3540 would challenge this outlook.

EUR/USD has slipped to a one-year low at 1.1360, with the euro unable to hold ground despite a recent ECB rate hike.
