Farm Payroll FAQ
Non -Farm Payrolls (NFP) is part of the monthly work report of the US Office of Statistics. The non -Farm payroll component, except for the agricultural industry, especially measures the change in the number of people employed in the US during the previous month.
The non -Farm payroll figure may affect the decisions of the Federal Reserve, predicting how successfully the Fed meets the task of encouraging full employment and 2% inflation. A relatively high NFP figure means that more people are in employment, earning more money and therefore probably spend more. The result of a relatively low non -agricultural payroll may mean that people are struggling to find a job. The FED will typically increase interest rates to combat high inflation triggered by low unemployment and reduce them to promote a stagnant labor market.
Out -of -Farm payrolls usually have a positive correlation with US dollar. This means that the USD is higher than expected, when the numbers of the payrolls are higher than expected, they are rally and vice versa when they are lower. NFPs affect the US dollar due to their effects on inflation, monetary policy expectations and interest rates. A higher NFP means that the Federal Reserve will be more tight by supporting USD in its monetary policy.

The higher NFP usually has a positive effect on the value of the USD, and it is priced as the Golden US dollar, such as most large commodities. If the USD gains value, therefore, you need less dollars to buy an ounce of gold. In addition, higher interest rates (typically helped higher NFPs) reduce the attractiveness of gold as an investment compared to the cash stay in which money will earn at least interest rates.
Out -of -Farm payrolls are only a component in a larger job report and can be left in the shade by other components. From time to time, when the NFP estimate was higher than the estimation, but when the average weekly earnings were lower than expected, he ignored the potentially inflationary effect of the market title result and interpreted the decrease in gains as a deflationist. The participation rate and average weekly time components may also affect the market reaction, but rarely rarely in events such as “great resignation” or global financial crisis.
