The Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report measures the change in the number of employed people in the US during the previous month, excluding the farming industry. Released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it is the most market-moving monthly indicator for the US Dollar.
NFP routinely moves EUR/USD and GBP/USD 80–150 pips within minutes. A beat strengthens USD; a miss weakens it. Gold typically trades inversely. Avoid holding open positions 30 min before/after release.
