FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Chief Analyst Allan von Mehren at Danske Bank, underlines the significance of today’s Non farm Payrolls.
Key Quotes
“The key event will be the US employment report for April (14:30 CET). We look for a solid rise of 220k in non-farm payrolls, which is in line with the consensus estimate of 218k (note that the consensus estimate has moved higher during the week)”.
“A number of indicators has pointed to a solid rebound in activity in March and April (personal spending, ISM, industrial production) and this is expected to be reflected in payrolls as well”.
“The unemployment rate will also be important. We expect a small decline from 6.7% to 6.6%”.
“Judging from the Fed’s own projections the first hike will be delivered when the unemployment rate is around 6%, although the timing will also depend on inflation and the strength of growth”.
