US Session Bullet Report

Despite NFP numbers coming short at 173k versus 215k expected, US unemployment fell to its lowest level since April 2008 at 5.1% versus 5.2% expected.

Markets for a moment reacted to NFP numbers but, USD seems to be the winner initially following the news as USD is trading up against its major counterparts. EURUSD is again testing 1.1100 mark with its next support at 1.1085.

Investors will be assessing market sentiment as despite lower than forecast NFP numbers, the US added a good number of jobs to further add weight that the economy is on course to reach its estimates on GDP and inflation.

Monday will be very light news wise so markets will likely be driven on sentiment and technicals.
From everyone at easy forex, we wish you a pleasant weekend.
