BLND Blend Labs stock breakout, from Stocks to Watch at https://stockconsultant.com/?BLND -
By HFblogNews · Posted
Date: 6th December 2024. How Will NFP Impact The Trading Markets? The Euro increased in value against most currencies on Thursday, but investors remained cautious over the ECB President’s comments. According to economists, the ECB is almost certain to cut interest rates next week. President Lagarde advises the Eurozone is likely to witness lower economic growth than previously expected. Analysts changed expectations for the US Unemployment Rate to rise to 4.2%. Most experts now expect the US rate of unemployment to remain unchanged. Poor US employment data can increase the potential for a December rate cut and further fuel the bullish trend in the stock market. EURUSD – Will The Fed Cut Interest Rates? The EURUSD rose in value on Thursday ignoring resistance levels but now moves closer to a stronger resistance point. This key level can be seen at 1.05969, but in order for the EURUSD to find bearish momentum at this level investors will be hoping for poor employment data. Economists expect the NFP Employment Change to read 215,000 and for the Unemployment Rate to remain at 4.1%. Analysts also continue to expect the growth in salaries to continue. If these three releases indicate a resilient and strong employment sector, the chances of a Federal Reserve rate cut fade. However, if the data is poorer, the US Dollar can potentially decline as a rate cut this month becomes more certain. Regarding the Euro, market participants are turning their attention to macroeconomic data from the Eurozone. Retail sales declined by 0.5% MoM, slightly worse than the expected ˗0.4%. Additionally, Germany’s industrial orders for October decreased by 1.5%, following a 4.2% rise in the previous month. This indicates weak domestic demand in both the German and broader European economies, potentially prompting the European Central Bank (ECB) to consider further interest rate cuts. A recent Reuters poll of leading economists suggests the ECB may lower borrowing costs by ˗25 basis points next week and by at least ˗100 basis points over the next year. Supporting this outlook, ECB President Christine Lagarde stated yesterday that economic growth in the Eurozone could be weaker than expected in the coming months, with risks of further deterioration likely to dominate in the medium term. The US Dollar Index is the best performing currency index so far today, but is not seeing significant gains. The Euro Index remains unchanged. The worst performing currency of the day is the Australian Dollar and the Japanese Yen. NASDAQ – How Will NFP Affect The NASDAQ? The NASDAQ retraced after gaining in value for 5 consecutive days and rising to an all-time high. So far in 2024, the NASDAQ has almost risen 30% but the short to medium term price action will depend on the upcoming employment data and next week’s consumer and producer inflation. Employment data for last week was released yesterday, showing that initial jobless claims rose by 224,000, surpassing both the forecast of 215,000 and the previous figure of 215,000. However, the total number of individuals receiving state assistance decreased from 1.896 million to 1.871 million, defying expectations of an increase to 1.910 million. Commenting on the situation, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted that the US economy is performing better than anticipated, with declining risks of labor market deterioration. In this context, Powell suggested that the Federal Reserve could adopt a more cautious stance on monetary policy, aiming to achieve a neutral position for interest rates.
