📈 USD gains against CAD, JPY, NZD, AUD and CHF ahead of payrolls data
US non-farm payrolls report at 1:30 pm GMT is a key macro event of the day. Market expects another month of solid above-500k jobs growth. Continuation of a strong recovery on the labour market may encourage the Fed to start focusing more on rampant price growth. Fed's Powell said recently that inflation should no longer be seen as transitory. Jobs data will play a big role for the Fed when it makes the next monetary policy decision on December 15, 2021. Solid reading, preferably a beat, could boost already high odds for a hawkish move in mid-December.
