Limited reaction for the USD on Friday’s NFP expected – focus is on next week’s CPI data | Forexlive
Due on Friday is the October US jobs report:
Snippet preview via TD, who are forecasting +220K and a 3.7% jobless rate.
- also forecasting wage growth to accelerate to 0.4% m/m, but to slow to 4.7% on a y/y basis
- USD should trade in the direction of the data, though our above-consensus forecast is likely not enough to justify major upside pressure.
- its an asymmetric reaction profile on weaker data, though we think there is some limit to the downside as CPI will be the main focus next week.
