#NPF WHAT IS NFP?
What is NFP (Non-Farm Payroll) Data?
NFP (Non-Farm Payroll) is a report released by the U.S. government each month that shows the number of new jobs created in the non-agricultural sector.
It is one of the key indicators that traders, investors, and the Central Bank (Federal Reserve) watch to understand how the U.S. economy is performing.
What does Strong NFP Data mean?
"Strong NFP Data" means that more jobs were created than expected. For example:
If it is expected that 180,000 jobs will be created, but it turns out to be 263,000, this indicates economic strength.
How Strong NFP affects markets:
USD (U.S. Dollar): It strengthens because it indicates a growing economy.
Crypto (BTC, ETH, etc.): They usually face downward pressure, as it is expected that the Fed may increase interest rates.
Securities/Stocks: Some stocks may decline due to fear of rising profits from the Central Bank 🏦
Gold/Silver: They may drop because people are converting their money into U.S. Dollars ($).
