The number of new jobs created during the previous month, in all non-agricultural business. The monthly changes in payrolls can be extremely volatile, due to its high relation with economic policy decisions made by the Central Bank.
We expect a lower reading than the previous month.
Until Friday, we can expect a weakening of the USD against other currencies. It would require a positive surprising release for the USD to strengthen against other currencies.
