US Dollar continues to rise for fifth consecutive day following strong NFP jobs report

The US Dollar (USD) Index (DXY) surged after a strong NFP report on Friday, showing a significant increase in US jobs additions in September. The US Unemployment Rate also dropped to 4.1%, reinforcing the positive outlook for the US labor market. Additionally, previous months’ NFP figures were revised upwards, further boosting market sentiment. Annual wage growth in September also exceeded expectations, rising to 4.0% YoY. These positive indicators have dashed hopes for a larger rate cut from the Federal Reserve (Fed) in November.

Investors have adjusted their expectations for the Fed’s November rate call following the NFP report. The CME’s FedWatch Tool now shows a 95% chance of a 25 bps rate cut on November 7, with only a 5% probability of no change in the Fed funds rate. The Dollar Index has been on a strong uptrend, breaking through key resistance levels and reaching above 102.00. The 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 101.90 has acted as a significant barrier, with the next resistance at the 200-day EMA around 103.41. A break above this level could signal a shift in the overall trend.

The DXY has shown signs of a short-term recovery, with higher lows indicating a change in market sentiment in favor of the dollar. If the index continues to rise, it could target the 103.50-104.00 range, where the 200-day EMA poses a major challenge. Failure to break the 50-day EMA could lead to consolidation or a retreat to around 101.00, with additional support at 100.50. The outlook for the Dollar Index remains positive, with the 50-day and 200-day EMAs serving as key resistance levels.

The Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) release is a crucial economic indicator that measures the number of new jobs created in non-agricultural businesses in the US. The monthly changes in payrolls can be volatile, and the data is subject to revisions that can impact the Forex market. A high NFP reading is typically bullish for the USD, while a low reading is bearish. However, market reaction also depends on other factors such as previous months’ revisions and the Unemployment Rate. Traders analyze the entire BLS report to gauge the overall health of the labor market and make informed trading decisions.
