📉 ADP Weekly Data Signals Labor Market Weakness — Early Signs of Cooling

• The 4-week average through October 25th showed -11,250 jobs per week

• Revised down from the initial +14,250 → clear deceleration in employment

• Markets are beginning to price in “tightening cycle is over → earlier rate cuts”

→ In the short term, this environment tends to favor USD selling.

↔️ But the Monthly ADP Print Showed +42,000

Breakdown by sectors:

• Strength: Education/Healthcare, Logistics

• Weakness: Professional Services, Information, Tourism/Leisure (3 months in a row)

→ This is not broad-based job strength
→ Strong pockets are surviving, while weaker sectors continue to deteriorate.

🔄 Inconsistencies = Market Noise

• ADP weekly data is released only during non-monthly weeks

• Frequent revisions make trend interpretation difficult

Right now, markets are reacting more to “direction of change” rather than the numbers themselves.

💹 Expected Short-Term Market Reaction

Weak labor signal → Lower U.S. yields → USD selling bias

Today in particular, the initial flows are likely to favor USD weakness.

✅ Trade Implementation

I positioned to capture the initial phase of USD selling,
entering NZDUSD long.

Technically,

• Key support held

• Momentum confirmed reversal from a basing zone

→ The setup aligned both fundamentally and technically.
