- It is expected that the US non -agricultural payrolls increase in 170,000 in January after reporting 256,000 in December.
- The US Labor Statistics Office will publish employment data on Friday at 1:30 p.m.
- The US labor data could offer a new address on the interest rates of the FED and the US dollar.
The United States Labor Statistics Office (BLS) will publish the important non -agricultural payroll data (NFP) of January on Friday at 13:30 GMT.
Amid the persistent inflationary concerns under the presidency of Donald Trump, the January Employment Report will be examined closely to evaluate the interest rates of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the performance of the US dollar (USD) in the short term.
Trump’s tariff war is considered inflationary, which requires higher rates.
What to expect from the next report of non -agricultural payrolls?
Economists expect non -agricultural payroll to increase in 170,000 jobs in January, after an increase of 256,000 jobs in December. It is likely that the unemployment rate (EU) is maintained at 4.1% in the same period.
Meanwhile, the average hourly (AHE) profits, a very observed measure of salary inflation, are expected to increase 3.8% year -on -year (yoy) in January, compared to the growth of 3.9% of December.
After the January monetary policy meeting, the FED maintained the reference policy rate in the target range of 4.25% -4.50% but altered the language in the policy declaration to a slightly hard-line tone. The US Central Bank eliminated the previous statement that said that inflation “has progressed” towards its inflation target of 2% while indicating that only the rhythm of price increases “remains high.”
The president of the FED, Jerome Powell, at his press conference after politics, declared that the Fed wants to see more progress in inflation and could see a path for that, adding, “we do not need to be in a hurry to make adjustments.”
Despite the hard line posture, the markets continue to wait 46.3 Basic points (BPS) of Fed features for December, according to LSEG data, with a reduction from a completely discounted point quarter to July. Therefore, January employment data is key to confirming the strength of the US labor market, which will probably have a strong influence on FED fees cuts for this year.
In view of the January employment situation report, TD Securities analysts said: “Payrolls are expected to lose impulse at the beginning of 2025, with temporary clashes that help maintain the main gain below the 200,000 mark” .
“It is likely that the unemployment rate (EU) has remained unchanged in 4.1%. The BLS will also reveal material reviews for payroll data and domestic employment,” they added.
How will the Non -Agricultural Payrols of January from the USA to the EUR/USD affect?
The US economic data publications are again in the attention center while the commercial war fears pass to the background for now, reflecting the continuous fall of the US dollar due to its reduced attraction as a safe refuge asset.
At the beginning of the week, the BLS reported that Jolts employment offers fell to 7.6 million in December, almost half a million less than the 8.1 million in November. Automatic Data Processing (ADP) announced Wednesday that employment in the US private sector grew in 183,000 jobs last month, more than the estimated 150,000 and 176,000 jobs created in December.
Mixed US employment data did not offer any consolation to the dollar for the publication of the NFP on Friday.
If the main number of the NFP shows a payroll growth below 150,000, the bassist trend of the US dollar could gain traction with the initial reaction to the data. A disappointing figure of the NFP could rekindle the moderate expectations of the Fed. In such a scenario, the EUR/USD could rise again to the neighborhood of 1,0500.
On the other hand, an upward surprise in the NFP data and salary inflation could confirm the Fed hard line tone, promoting a new USD recovery while leading to the EUR/USD torque back around 1,0250.
DHWANI MEHTA, main analyst of the Asian session at FXSTERET, offers a brief technical perspective for the EUR/USD:
“The EUR/USD turn since the minimum of three weeks of 1,0210 seems to be limited by the Simple mobile means (SMA) of 50 days in 1,0408 in the regressive account for the publication of the NFP. Meanwhile, the relative force index ( RSI) of 14 days challenges level 50 from above.
“Buyers need a decisive rupture above the maximum of January 30, 1,0468 to aim at the key level of 1,0500. Acceptance above that level is critical to unleash a greater recovery towards static resistance around 1,0535. On the contrary , if the EUR/USD yields a sustained breakup of the 1,0300 brand, the sellers will then point to the minimum of three weeks just above 1,0200. “
Economic indicator
Unemployment rate
The unemployment rate published by the US Department of Labor It corresponds to the number of unemployed workers divided among the economically active population. If the rate grows, this indicates the absence of growth of economic activity in the United States. A result superior to what is expected is bassist for the dollar, while a result less than consensus is upward.

Faqs non -agricultural payrolls
Non -Agricultural Payroll (NFP) are part of the monthly employment report of the US Labor Statistics Office. The non -agricultural payroll component specifically measures the change in the number of people employed in the United States during the previous month, without include the agricultural sector.
The number of non -agricultural payroll (NFP) can influence the decisions of the Federal Reserve by providing a measure of the success with which the Fed is fulfilling its mandate to promote full employment and an inflation of 2%. A relatively high NFP figure means that there are more people used, earning more money and, therefore, probably spending more. A result of relatively low agricultural payrolls, on the other hand, could mean that people are having difficulty finding work. The Fed will normally increase interest rates to combat high inflation caused by low unemployment, and lower them to stimulate a stagnant labor market. “
Non -agricultural payrolls generally have a positive correlation with the US dollar. This means that when the figures are higher than expected, the dollar tends to rise and vice versa when they are minors. Non -agricultural payrolls influence the US dollar under its impact on inflation, monetary policy expectations and interest rates. A higher NFP generally means that the Federal Reserve will be more restrictive in its monetary policy, which will support the dollar.
Non -agricultural payrolls generally have a negative correlation with the price of gold. This means that a number of payroll greater than expected will have a depressive effect on the price of gold and vice versa. A higher NFP generally has a positive effect on the value of the US dollar and, like most main raw materials, gold is quoted in US dollars. Therefore, if the US dollar gains value, less dollars are required to buy an ounce of gold. In addition, higher interest rates (which generally helped a higher NFP) also reduce the attractiveness of gold as an investment compared to staying in cash, where money will at least generate interest. “
Non -agricultural payrolls are only a component within a broader employment report and can be seen eclipsed by other components. Sometimes, when non -agricultural payrolls are greater than expected, but the average weekly profits are lower than expected, the market has ignored the potentially inflationary effect of the main result and interprets the fall in profits as deflationary. The components of the participation rate and the average weekly hours can also influence the market reaction, but only in rare events such as the “great resignation” or the global financial crisis. “
