Frequently Asked Questions
Why is NFP such a big market mover?
NFP directly determines the Fed's next move. A strong jobs report (above expectations) means the economy is strong → Fed can keep rates higher → USD rises, gold falls, bond prices fall. Weak jobs report (below expectations) means the economy is slowing → Fed may cut rates → gold rises, USD falls, bonds rally.
Is the ADP report a reliable NFP predictor?
ADP Employment Report (released Wednesday before NFP Friday) surveys ~450,000 companies and is theoretically a leading indicator. However, the correlation with NFP is weak — ADP has missed by 100,000+ jobs in some months. Traders use ADP to position, but NFP itself remains the definitive release.
