NFP / U.S. Labor Market Update
The report for September 2025 is due today (published by Bureau of Labor Statistics, delayed because of the U.S. government shutdown).
The prior monthly reading (August) was +22,000 jobs — well below consensus ~75,000.
Markets are cautious ahead of today’s print: the U.S. dollar index (USD X) has been strengthening, suggesting expectations are for a moderate outcome.
The Importance:
Stronger-than-expected jobs growth tends to bolster the USD (thus possibly weigh on gold). Conversely, a weak print could revive dovish expectations for Federal Reserve policy, boosting gold.
Key Takeaway:
With labor gains having been weak, a surprise upside could shift sentiment toward tighter or delayed Fed ease. A weak number may keep alive hopes of rate cuts/support for gold.
