01: NON FARM PAYROLL (Part 1) - ECONOMIC REPORTS FOR ALL MARKETS

This is the 1st video in a series on economic reports created for all markets, or for those who simply have an interest in economics. In this and the next lesson, we cover the Employment Situation Report, also known as Non Farm Payroll.

============

Non-farm Payrolls (metatrader5.com)

Non-farm Payrolls is the assessment of the total number of employees recorded in payrolls.

This is a very strong indicator that shows the change in employment in the country. The growth of this indicator characterizes the increase in employment and leads to the growth of the dollar. It is considered an indicator tending to move the market. There is a rule of thumb that an increase in its value by 200,000 per month equates to an increase in GDP by 3.0%.

  • Release Frequency: monthly.
  • Release Schedule: 08:30 EST, the first Friday of the month.
  • Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.

Forex Trading Video: Watch EURUSD for Risk, GBPUSD and NZDUSD For Rates

  • Despite a swell of activity on the ECB and NFPs, we saw volatility levels end the week at extreme lows
  • Questionable risk appetite may make EURUSD the most risk-exposed major in the FX market
  • Meanwhile, extended rate expectations make GBP and NZD susceptible to data and an RBNZ decision

There is no escaping the growing unease as traditional volatility readings tumble to multi-year and even record lows. And, for FX traders, the most exposed currency pair may be EURUSD. This past week's ECB stimulus push has both stoked investors' push for return and exacerbated an already prominent dependency for the Euro on status quo risk trends. This pair is a focal point for the two key drivers moving forward. Sentiment trends are building to be a greater and greater threat by the week, but that is not a trade to implement until systemic tides have turned. In the meantime, interest rate expectations have been stirred for the Euro and US Dollar this past week, and event risk will do the same for the Pound and Kiwi ahead. We discuss this and more in the weekend Trading Video.

New - The Holy Grail of Forex Trading Finally Revealed

I'm sure the subject line of this video raised a few eyebrows! But let me ask you a question: If you looked at some of the most consistently successful traders in history -- people who have made incredible amounts of money over and over -- would you consider them to have found the Holy Grail? Would it help you to know their "big secret"?

The answer should be obvious, but here's the problem: "knowing" is one thing, "doing" is quite another. This video may offer you some contrasts that will help you in clearing obstacles that could be inhibiting your progress.
