Questions and answers do not go away in salaries
Non -agricultural salary statements (NFP) is part of the monthly job report for labor statistics at the Labor Office. The non -agricultural salary scout component measures the change in the number of people working in the United States during the previous month, with the exception of the agricultural industry.
Non -agricultural salary statements number can affect the federal reserve decisions by providing a measure of the extent of the success of the Federal Reserve in meeting its mandate to enhance full employment and 2 % enlargement. The relatively high NFP number means that more people work, earn more money, and thus spend more. As a result of relatively low salaries, non -agricultural, from both hand, may mean that people are struggling to find work. The Federal Reserve usually raises interest rates to combat high inflation caused by low unemployment, and reduce it to stimulate the stagnant labor market.
Non -agricultural salaries in general have a positive relationship with US dollars. This means that when salary numbers appear higher than the US dollar is expected to tend to gather and vice versa when they are less. NFPS affects the US dollar by virtue of its impact on inflation, monetary policy expectations and interest rates. The highest NFP usually means that the federal reserve will be more narrow in its monetary policy, which supports the US dollar.
Unconsisrated salaries are usually negatively related to the price of gold. This means that the higher salary number of salaries is expected will have a frustrating effect on the price of gold and vice versa. The highest NFP in general has a positive impact on the value of the US dollar, and like most main commodities, gold is priced in US dollars. If the value of the US dollar is gaining the value, it will require less than dollars to buy an ounce of gold. Also, higher interest rates (usually NFPS higher) also reduce the attractiveness of gold as an investment compared to staying cash, as the money will get at least the interest.
Non -agricultural salaries are only one component within the larger function report and can be overwhelmed by other components. Sometimes, when NFP appears higher than the stock exchange, but the average weekly profit is less than expected, the market has ignored the potential inflationary effect of the title of the title and explaining the decrease in profits as a shrinkage. The participation rate and the average weekly hours of hours can also affect the market reaction, but only in rare events such as “great resignation” or the global financial crisis.
